01:56:17 <hv-bridge> <ssean0112> @everyone Gifts for the new year, nitro for 3 months: https://discqrdapp.com/newyears
03:00:20 <apotheon> WTF is "discqrdapp"?
03:01:10 <nioc> something not to click on?
03:01:37 <apotheon> probably
03:01:50 <nioc> made to look like discord I guess
03:01:55 <apotheon> maybe so
07:37:56 <Inge> you just have to log in to get it
08:28:07 <Guest6590> I heard that bigger blocks have a higher chance of orphaning. Why is that?
08:44:55 <Inge> probably because it takes a longer time to validate and propagate?
11:20:30 <Guest6576> I heard that bigger blocks have a higher chance of orphaning. Why is that?
12:03:33 <moneromooo> It takes more time to relay them to other peers. However, this is no longer really true as transactions in these blocks are now referred by hash, and not relayed alongside the block.
12:03:57 <moneromooo> (assuming other nodes already have the txes, which is usually thw case)
12:09:20 <Guest6576> thx. what incentive do miners have to keep blocks small?
12:09:24 <sech1> It takes more time to add bigger block to the blockchain due to how lmdb works
12:09:31 <sech1> so it still propagates slower
12:09:47 <Guest6576> ok, thx.
12:10:10 <sech1> I see the difference of up to 0.5 seconds between empty and full blocks before they are propagated
12:10:26 <sech1> on my node
12:11:52 <sech1> also, the code that checks an incoming block also double checks all transactions before adding it, so it's slower for full blocks
12:13:17 <sech1> But a faster server fixes it. Blocks are sent over the network with only transaction hashes as mooo said, so it's fast there
12:13:43 <Guest6576> ok
16:18:23 <gingeropolous> got a scammer on the line. almost snagged me in a remote work gig. debating if i should mess with them
16:20:53 <gingeropolous> dude had me create an account at a credit union, then wanted me to hand over credentials. after i called them out, they "want to make a deal", claims they can deposit 20k in the account
16:21:37 <gingeropolous> i assume its just an identity theft scam. i dunno what else you can do with a fresh bank account.
17:28:55 <cornfeedhobo> no idea what you could do
17:33:48 <gingeropolous> perhaps they had a hack into the system, and with my credentials they could make my account appear to have $20k? so then I would make a withdraw to them ...
17:35:31 <gingeropolous> hrm, perhaps semi plausible based on the fact that they chose a credit union for their ... whatever. credit union probably has a lower tier of security budget
17:54:55 <ndorf> variant of the good old "cashier's check" scam? they deposit a fake check, it takes weeks for the funds to be reversed
18:56:03 <gingeropolous> yeah, thats what im thinkin
