17:01:05 <Isthmus> Woah really? So if I mine a block with a phantom hash (not referring to a real txn) it’s still a good block?
17:01:30 <Isthmus> Indefinitely?
17:01:33 <Isthmus> Has anybody checked to see if there are phantom hashes on the chain right now?
17:02:59 <Isthmus> As a miner, can I put phantom hashes in and claim that they paid me fees?
17:04:43 <moneromooo> Yes. No. Moot. I don't know. Of course not (respectively).
17:05:33 <moneromooo> Note that opposite of "marked as bad" is not "marked as good". It might not be marked as either.
17:06:30 <moneromooo> The last question in particular assumes lots of extraneous stuff that in no way would be even implied by "marked as good".
17:25:34 <UkoeHB_> seems like he's just asking if and for how long a node will hold on to a 'fluffy block' when that node doesn't have copies of its transactions
17:26:36 <moneromooo> It doesn't hold on to it. It just replies "I don't have these, send them". If they're never sent, the block isn't marked invlaid, but not added either.
17:27:42 <UkoeHB_> does it discard the block immediately?
17:30:59 <moneromooo> I guess it's the same yes.
17:31:20 <moneromooo> It's more like "ask to resend, with those txes I don't know about".
20:16:08 <Isthmus> Interesting. So if a block with a phantom hash comes in, and none of your peers can provide the corresponding transaction, the block stays in limbo(?). If a child block(s) shows up, do they also go into limbo?
20:18:00 <moneromooo> If by in limbo you mean not added to the chain, then yes.
20:18:23 <moneromooo> If a child block comes in, then it's not added either since its parent is not on the chain.
20:25:56 <Isthmus> Cool, that makes sense
20:33:26 <Isthmus> `tx_ID = H(H(prefix)||H(stuff)||H(signatures))` right? where || is concatenation
20:36:34 <moneromooo> Kinda.
20:36:55 <moneromooo> Replace "signatures" by "prunable part of the tx" and it's right IIRC.
20:37:21 <moneromooo> And that's for v2. v1 is a straight hash of the whole.
20:41:10 * Isthmus takes notes
20:41:13 <Isthmus> Thanks
