asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand, you were referring to 'spin up trb node from 0 on real-life blockchain'. which more or less everyone involved has done, multiple times. his current thing appears to be the 'lan testnet' scenario i suggested a while back. where one pretends that the year is 2009.

asciilifeform: y'know, to see if trb miner actually works. and if indeed the thing can be put on alpha centauri.

asciilifeform: in parallel world.

asciilifeform: he is doing mine-from-0

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no, not full download! that's trivial and everyone did it

asciilifeform: also imho ben_vulpes has a very spiffy project here and it deserves more brain cycles, he is actually testing the 'bitcoin on alpha centauri' scenario! i.e. replay of time, from genesis and up, in parallel universe, on trb.

asciilifeform: (specifically, cpuminer thread will sleep forever if there are no peers in the peer table, or if it - through braindamaged heuristic - decides that node is in 'initial block download')

asciilifeform: these are becoming fewer in number, even among chronic tv users

asciilifeform: it is nontrivial, but sometimes is done when tightly optimizing by hand

asciilifeform: you can write a routine in, e.g., ordinary commonlisp, in consless style

asciilifeform: every lisp is at some point in its life 'consless' (if the gc is written, as is proper, in itself; and prior to gc init at warmup)

asciilifeform: i.e. exactly like what you have now but without cons (and hence without gc)

asciilifeform: trinque: a consless lisp is literally just that
