asciilifeform: but it would stand to reason that miners will eventually exert more tx fee pressure ☟︎

asciilifeform: given the merkle tree thing, tx's don't really add to the load

asciilifeform: not really

asciilifeform: and botched horribly

asciilifeform: <decimation> weird, the last four blocks had no transactions << betcha somebody's playing with the 'tx selector' thing

asciilifeform: this may well be one of those things that can be made 'as simple as possible but not simpler'

asciilifeform: when else.

asciilifeform: what's wrong with the old-fashioned 'inv' ?

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: but will discourage some of the more hamfisted kinds of shitgnomery

asciilifeform: won't make'em sync any faster

asciilifeform: signed with pgp, verified by user, dropped in .bitcoin

asciilifeform: that is, an ascii file similar to my sums.txt.gz

asciilifeform: what i think would be considerably more useful is a provision for 'programmable checkpoints' ☟︎

asciilifeform: it is part of the protocol

asciilifeform: node already has option of asking for those

asciilifeform: that'd be the header, no ?

asciilifeform: mentioned on several occasions

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: the hash list ?

asciilifeform: so long as it is used as a 'graphical diff', oughta be harmless

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1186324 << very good for folks reading patches. but remember, the patches ~are~ the canonical patches... ☝︎

asciilifeform: and puts a null stub there

asciilifeform: so it whines

asciilifeform: something in 'boost' theoretically can invoke it, or rather - gcc is too dumb to know that it will never happen

asciilifeform: (not in the dns-free variant)

asciilifeform: yes. but it never gets called in bitcoin

asciilifeform: punkman: it's an interim thing. still need to shoot glibc in the head

asciilifeform: also thermal shocks machinery

asciilifeform: decimation: co2 extinguishers, are, interestingly, very expensive (largely on account of their size. you need a great lot of it)

asciilifeform: punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1184829 ☝︎

asciilifeform: more for laboratory work.

asciilifeform: they don't really do much good in a 'civilian' bitcoin node, though

asciilifeform: gotta apply manually

asciilifeform: if you want 'dumpblock' and 'eatblock', those are not included in stator

asciilifeform: trinque: ought to suffice

asciilifeform: i meant, what patches

asciilifeform: trinque: what's in your set ?

asciilifeform: like those folks who play out old battles with dummy rounds

asciilifeform: otherwise you're merely reenacting history

asciilifeform: trinque: you're only ~really~ replaying history if you 'eatblock' from mircea_popescu's raw blkxxxxen

asciilifeform: (virgin tears? vodka ?) ☟︎

asciilifeform wonders what mircea_popescu keeps in his fire extinguisher

asciilifeform: not cheap either. but you can still get! (until the envirowhiners get to it, too)

asciilifeform just unpacked a crate with one

asciilifeform: phun phakt: you can't buy (new) halon fire extinguishers in usa, but you can get... freon (hcfc-123)

asciilifeform: go, fix

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1186241 << it has bug, i realized later, will die if finds testnet blocks ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1186157 << mega-classic, and was discussed here before. including the fact that later bombmeisters have added the necessary detail of bar of soap and photocell (fluoresces under xray, sets off secondary detonator) ☝︎

asciilifeform: (there was a proggy posted some years ago to use one as a camera!)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1186009 << a modern (vs. the infrared diode + mirror mat '80s kind) optic mouse is a pretty hefty computer by itself. complete with bugs ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185971 << wai wut, is kakobrekla now fearing gavinocalypse ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: it is nifty and very educational and mega-recommended to all students of the subject ^

asciilifeform: or what BingoBoingo or mod6 built on ?

asciilifeform: get a gentoo ?

asciilifeform: punkman: from here i can only conclude that your unixlike is braindamaged beyond repair!

asciilifeform: vax?

asciilifeform: whatcha building on ?

asciilifeform: and tries to create bdb's 'include' in root

asciilifeform: punkman: your shell, for some reason, isn't seeing the install dir

asciilifeform: punkman: you gotta download the deps !

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: could do an even shorter/sweeter bidirectional (!) version with 'binary-types' ( http://www.cliki.net/binary-types ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: i bet the linked turd is not long for this world

asciilifeform: save the thing somewhere (archive.today ?)

asciilifeform: np

asciilifeform: when i don't have to do a chore personally

asciilifeform: one of those beautiful magic momentz

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185338 << and the phf went & did ☝︎

asciilifeform: ^ up, for the time being

asciilifeform: (but afaik, no one has done it yet... why ?)

asciilifeform: it'd be trivial

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: anybody interested in multiprocessorizing bitcoin sig check ?

asciilifeform: doesn't sell very well on its own.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1186154 << l0l, short supply ?! most plentiful thing on planet3 ☝︎

asciilifeform: (or rather, tx's issued by house.)

asciilifeform: they'd just all happen to be employees of the house.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1186176 << not if done correctly. all the peanutgallery could see is 'the statistically expected number of players won' ☝︎

asciilifeform: approx. 35 hrs

asciilifeform: looks like these are going at about same rate

asciilifeform: 306200+

asciilifeform: thinking of the guild system ?

asciilifeform: wai wut

asciilifeform: (a scamarket, naturally, consists of a crown concession to perpetrate a particular kind of scam.)

asciilifeform: iirc the israelis have that scamarket cornered for decades

asciilifeform: logical extension of 'party member in every elevator ride in every office'

asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/gallery/Cwma0Kf << related mega-classic

asciilifeform: related famous bushism: 'Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.'

asciilifeform: decimation: iirc, in mexico it is not unlawful to escape from a prison. (in the sense that such a prisoner will not have an additional sentence imposed if caught alive.) but, similarly to usa, it is permissible for police to shoot escapees if they feel like it.

asciilifeform: so doubtful

asciilifeform: ru is on a 'dictatorship of the law' and 'property rights' kick
