asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: got any phriendz who have ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you ever design a pcb of whatever kind ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's after the legendary 'dragonfly' fpga.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: there were at least four package variants.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you can turn up as many as you like and mount'em yourself.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the other thing is that my understanding is that the 6216 was never produced in serious quantity
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: fpga is pretty much never mounted in a socket (the low end xilinx cpld, e.g., 95xx series, do come in plcc - but high pin count makes this a bitch)
asciilifeform: incidentally there ~was~ once a socket for these (pga299)
asciilifeform: malleus has same effect but more surgically precise.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: quite possibly awshammer is obsolete
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that chick looks like she is eating a lemon or what
asciilifeform: я русский бы выучил только за то что им разговаривал ленин (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: somebody here (ben_vulpes?) even learned cpp just for the occasion.☟︎
asciilifeform: the ultimate authority on what the crock of shit actually does is the selfsame crock of shit.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: observe that even mircea_popescu has put on the apocalyptic gas mask and reads.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i must agree with BingoBoingo: sadly, reading the actual code is not optional
asciilifeform: seems to me that a miner can stuff any valid tx into a block
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how did his scheme ~guarantee~ ?
asciilifeform: i.e. one could displace an unconfirmed tx of fee f by broadcasting doublespend where fee > f, at least with a certain nonzero probability
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldn't it already be a thing if we had the fee-based mempool sorter ?
asciilifeform: 'Unsigned integers differ from signed integers in that the latter include both positive and negative integers whereas the former include only positive integers.' << this is wrong in at least two places
asciilifeform: (no discussion of how and why we ended up with static build, omitting the whole pogo thing, astonishingly foggy description of what orphans/bastards were and WHY they had to go, i could go on, and on)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1380409 << dun wanna make pete_dushenski cry, but this is a ~terrible~ summary, if i were whacked over the head and forgot about my patches, and had to re-learn them from that article, i'd have nfi what they were and why.☝︎
