asciilifeform: plenty of room if you remove that limit
asciilifeform: you know, there is no reason why all the letters have to be parallel with the bottom of the page
asciilifeform: (the job won't be done, but it will become possible for me to do it)
asciilifeform: solrodar: tell you what. i'm not the one who put up the bounty (that was mircea_popescu) but i was the one who asked for the chart. if you can produce a dependency graph in s-expression format, embodying the info in this graph, ~and~ show me how to get same using open source utils, i will say the job is done
asciilifeform: at least 10% of the page should be occupied by letters.☟︎
asciilifeform: another problem is abominably small print
asciilifeform: the most obvious problems have nothing to do with shortest paths
asciilifeform: trinque: i really don't understand why
asciilifeform: not trying to be a spoilsport, but pointing out fact
asciilifeform: solrodar: gonna tell me that the structure requires putting, e.g., CWalletDB::ReadBestBlock a mile away from AppInit2, even though the former connects to ~nothing else~ ???!!
asciilifeform: it's where i describe how bitcoin is not actually decentralized at all, but depends on a thoroughly usgificated network of political clocks
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: might wanna read that thread, it's pretty lulzy
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you have a tip re: how to make perfectly synchronized with one another rubidium clocks materialize in the existing $20 pogos, i'm all ears..
asciilifeform: right now we have the very different problem of how not to drown in own shit.
asciilifeform: we, afaik, do not have those problems yet. must still graduate to them.
asciilifeform: (though by no means useless in general)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the fixation on physical clocks, astronomical magic, etc. is unproductive re: the original problem posed.
asciilifeform: but it will continue to suck in all sorts of other financial garbage and use it to spew forth Euros without comment, keeping other European countries on financial life support simply because they aren't Greece.'
asciilifeform: ries in line... Add to this a double-helping of double standards. The IMF won't lend to Greece because it requires some assurance of repayment; but it will continue to lend to the Ukraine, which is in default and collapsing rapidly, without any such assurances because, you see, the decision is a political one. The European Central Bank no longer accepts Greek bonds as collateral because, you see, it considers them to be junk;
asciilifeform: '...Greece's creditors refuse to consider declaring all of this bad debt null and void—not because of anything having to do with Greece, which is small enough to be forgiven much of its bad debt without causing major damage, but because of Spain, Italy and others, which, if similarly forgiven, would blow up the finances of the entire European Union. Thus, it is rather obvious that Greece is being punished to keep other count
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: was not speaking of the chunk of rock per se. see thread.
asciilifeform: basic idea involves 'left-handed' and 'right-handed' miners, with game-theoretical reward matrix of being one depending on the first derivative in the hashing power of the other.
asciilifeform: and thus i am not entirely sure who would find it interesting here, and why
asciilifeform: it absolutely cannot work with classical bitcoin
asciilifeform: the solution is to force the miners themselves into behaving like a pendulum with a period from which they, collectively, deviate at their peril.
asciilifeform: i linked to it to illustrate the sheer batshit
