asciilifeform: neato!

asciilifeform: and for some more lulz. tried to find some material re: 'non-outsourceable puzzles', vaguely recalled that it was an idea whereby mining pool is made impossible on account of any participant being able to undetectably claim the entire reward for himself. then learned that there is no such field, properly speaking, as 'non-outsourceable puzzles', and that it was a crackpot creation of miller (the one featured in http://trilema.

asciilifeform: ideal application - small circuit, precious-little comms with outside world, etc

asciilifeform sits and thinks, wondering whether anyone has produced clockless (muller gate) miner ☟︎

asciilifeform: (incl. even us)

asciilifeform: esp. funny considering that they portscan planet 24/7 and try to -addnode to everybody who answers

asciilifeform: i oughta knock on their door and tell'em

asciilifeform: https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/128.8.124.7-8333 << l0l, poor buggers are wedged

asciilifeform notices that all of his nodes carry precisely the same tx, but then again they are all peering one another...

asciilifeform wonders if anyone has carried out any serious public work whatsoever re: mempool tx propagation ☟︎

asciilifeform: alchemist!

asciilifeform: public discourse - aha, nasdaq, not mpex

asciilifeform: much of history of physical science (arguably the 'good times') were squarely in the 'secret society' days

asciilifeform: not so sure about this

asciilifeform: and none lift derps off the street and 'teach' them

asciilifeform: phf: 1,001 places! but none are famous

asciilifeform: (and the folks i work with - are very much not 'etsy artefactual expert' types)

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: hey my crypt's in business

asciilifeform: or perhaps 1,001 other

asciilifeform: or my crypt

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: mno.

asciilifeform: mno

asciilifeform: nah.

asciilifeform begs to differ

asciilifeform: not when there are actual doctors somewhere.

asciilifeform: not now, not ever.

asciilifeform: witch doctor in the congo does not define medicine.

asciilifeform: i am not impressed.

asciilifeform: software as it exists now is largely the result of precisely this kind of process.

asciilifeform: hope you have good corpse disposal facilities

asciilifeform: e.g., 'lock the kidz in a room and let'em out once some of them compose a passable symphony'

asciilifeform: e.g., 'lock the kidz in a room and let'em out once some of them build a plane'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: substitute in a different profession and see if the above still appears to make sense

asciilifeform did not eat it, on account of recalling that it is one of the 'bad' hallucinogens

asciilifeform: when i took organic chem at uni, for some reason 'extract myristicin from the nutmeg' was the first lab session

asciilifeform: the miracast almost makes me wish i had a tv set. would plug it in, watch blockchain go

asciilifeform: did the fed run out of coin

asciilifeform: life is so empty without it

asciilifeform: where is the spam

asciilifeform: has proper ducts, like adults, now

asciilifeform does not have this problem

asciilifeform: where is the tx spam ?!

asciilifeform: woah did gavin trip over his mains cable or what?

asciilifeform: along with 1,001 other frauds

asciilifeform: those were in the 'anarchist cookbook'

asciilifeform: i learned of the jekem crap from uncle al, incidentally

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: jekem!

asciilifeform: (definitely there was a few storiez on usenet/asstr)

asciilifeform: iirc there is abortion porn

asciilifeform: (or perhaps i am enthusiastically for it, but only because misanthropy)

asciilifeform: to paraphrase naggum, yes, i am against surgery club for kidz

asciilifeform: or teach surgery

asciilifeform: chess isn't trying to build infrastructure

asciilifeform: (or any of the 1,001 clones)

asciilifeform: anybody else here has 'miracast' device ?

asciilifeform: not everything wants to happen at same time

asciilifeform: 'eat fine dinner and fuck AT THE SAME TIME !'

asciilifeform: 30 grams or so

asciilifeform: this is probably the smallest - masswise and volumewise - linux box that i've ever owned

asciilifeform: no telnet server though, so it might have to get new rom (and flasher) via 'xmodem' or the like

asciilifeform: so it can access the net, yes

asciilifeform: the last time i plugged the thing into a display, i configured it to sit down on a wireless lan

asciilifeform: (big fat surprise, it has to live in that 8MB eeprom)

asciilifeform: thing inside is an extremely cut-down linux

asciilifeform: it's a serial port

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, jurov, et al: lastly, http://dpaste.com/05FDR4M.txt

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, jurov, et al: http://dpaste.com/0YSCME3.txt ☟︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, jurov, et al: soldered pogo-style ttl serial probe to the 'miracast'. this yielded a straight root shell in ~5 seconds after powerup.

asciilifeform: newspeak for 'deathmarch' ?

asciilifeform: dafuq is a 'hackathon' ?

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: and another (also experimental) that adds 'flushmempool'

asciilifeform: one (optional...!) to set a version string that actually displays to folks like 'bitnodes'

asciilifeform: moar patchez in the pipe, too

asciilifeform: gonna stand up more boxes in various places, incl. phriends who expressed interest

asciilifeform: probably will fill some time reasonably soon, at which point i'll finally cancel the contract on it

asciilifeform: it's a cheapo box with a 10meg line and 70gb disk

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: using a box i've been hiring for years, 'in case'

asciilifeform: (likely, no sooner than tomorrow noon. but it is cooking, yes)

asciilifeform: meanwhile i'm about to stand up another node!
