asciilifeform: and my nodes only appear because i bludgeoned the version string to death
asciilifeform: 'they' also stopped listing nodes running sane (pre-0.8)
asciilifeform: for all i know, half of'em are running 'pseudonode'
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-08-2015#1239920 << the '6K nodes' thing is a laugh. how many actually verify blocks from genesis up? ☝︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fix your post, 'though given Satoshi's infrequent use of cryptographic signatures and loss the email account' --> 'loss of'
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-08-2015#1239484 ☝︎

asciilifeform: with care.
asciilifeform: punkman: this does not mean that it can't be cut. i've been cutting it. but it has to be cut like a living thing.
asciilifeform: prior to bitcoin being dear.
asciilifeform: it is a steaming pile of shit, but has one saving grace: it existed prior to the war.
asciilifeform: try to remember the basic reason why we're using 0.5.3 as foundation rather than starting from empty.

asciilifeform: it is one thing to snip provably unreachable code
asciilifeform: punkman: recall mircea_popescu's comment about 'father's pistols'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the wedge point would take about a week to reach, at typical pace, if starting from nil

asciilifeform: no shit.
asciilifeform: 'What you can infer here (since Ubiquiti won’t comment) is that the scammers spoofed an employee communication from a fake email account, instructing an employee to wire funds to a “vendor.” In its laziest form, it’s an attack that anyone could mount with an Internet connection and about 5 minutes — the B2B version of the old “Nigerian prince” email fraud, except the prince purports to be your boss.'
