asciilifeform: but imho if actually maintaining the proggy dun come 1st, then what may end with is item resembling the pseudofoundation, which has lengthy tentacles but 0 grasp of the orig. item (not even enuff grasp to do seriously complex evil, for the most part.)
asciilifeform: mod6: imho this , important -- what good is 'ref impl.' if no one understands it, or why even exists. i dun actually disagree w/ mp re 'needs public tentacles'.
asciilifeform: imho it was a much better 'have-read' world to play in head with, than 'to-read' per se, 1 of those.
asciilifeform: to take 1 example, is there a max reorg depth that still worx as expected ?
asciilifeform: mod6: i dare to say that no one 100% comprehends (not the protocol per se, i comprehend) but the entire behaviour space of the proggy per se.
asciilifeform: the heathens sorta tried to do this, but in the usual heathen way simply shat in their pants.
asciilifeform: esp. in such a way as to produce a spec that can then be worked from.
asciilifeform: mod6: annotation of trb is a+++ Right Thing imho.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you start to study ffa, dun hesitate to ask asciilifeform to help as you go in.
asciilifeform: mod6: as i understand you recently escaped gulag. so perhaps nao can do.
asciilifeform: mod6: for instance, i have a gnatistic o(1) block db thing, that's a gnat bugfix away from battle tests.
asciilifeform: mod6: i'ma submit for so long as anyone cares to read.
asciilifeform: ( maybe only i take these seriously ? but imho such documents ought to represent reality )
asciilifeform: mod6: new blood imho ought to then amend the charter.
asciilifeform: mod6: imho it is only because we have trb, that other meaningful work has what to breathe.
asciilifeform: imho these are the fundamentals, without which all other adventures pertaining to trb (e.g. propaganda) are meaningless.
asciilifeform: nao asciilifeform is no one in tbf. but will be sad if it comes to be the case that there is no tbf to fund emplacements of noades, curation of the ref. trb (incl. mod6's very fine build system) .
asciilifeform: maybe i'm alone in this, but i don't hold against mod6 that he was breaking his back in a salt mine.
asciilifeform: there is nuffin in the charter regarding e.g. carrying out propaganda, or even the building of noades. (tho both imho are Right Thing)
asciilifeform: incidentally i dun agree w/ mp's verdict that tbf is somehow broken (aside from 1 of the 2 chairs having gone awol.) charter reads, clearly, 'This charter establishes the existence of a virtual organization whose mission is to maintain the Bitcoin reference implementation.' this was carried out .
asciilifeform: they tend to leave disgusting messes.
asciilifeform: mod6: clean unwind is sumthing the heathens dun know how.
asciilifeform: we are to set a proper standard, imho, for seppuku.
asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform had a heathen isp close on him 2y ago. had no (3) personally owned in it, but never saw an lick of (1) or (2) .
asciilifeform: and yes errybody is to get back 1) data 2) coin 3) iron, in that order.
asciilifeform: mod6: mp has been providing a++ guru meditation. i expect will say moar.
asciilifeform: seems like the only 1 who hasn't yet come up for air is trinque .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd rather not put those on a heathen hoster, but let's ask the affected folx 1st.
asciilifeform: mod6: currently i'm thinking, we do not need 'liquidator' a la bbet. we, ourselves, can properly play the orchestra as the ship goes down.
asciilifeform: if no one comes up with where, i'ma get hold of a cheap heathen thing, they're gpgballs, ought not matter where to put.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd offer to host , but, lol, haven't where
asciilifeform: i agree re mod6's '1st evacuate boxen'.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun panic. asciilifeform simply would like to apply the necessary heat so as e.g. the sec deposit dun evaporate .
asciilifeform: mod6: and the sooner contract is finished with, the moar will remain.
asciilifeform: mod6: i dun expect that postage for boxen, or 1wk of refund, will eat anywhere close to whole piggy.
asciilifeform: mod6: since BingoBoingo apparently wishes to stay in uruguayistan, gotta cleanly nuke the contract.
asciilifeform: mod6: i also doubt. but imho worth to at least find what'd cost .
asciilifeform: mod6: orc attourneys i suspect dun charge megabux. but imho worth to find what'd cost. perhaps even 1 would work on contingency, and then only costs to feed BingoBoingo .
asciilifeform: orc market aint payin' squat for boxes, i suspect.
