asciilifeform: (it is possible to break up cement, but not without anyone noticing. this is the basic principle for the nuke test-ban compliance gadget used on both sides of the ocean)☟︎
asciilifeform: whole point would be the physical security of a few metres of cement
asciilifeform: if box is easily accessible, 'skin not worth the tanning'
asciilifeform: (not because valuable, but because copper scavengers need to be publicly flayed rather than encouraged)☟︎
asciilifeform: but in such a way that the box lives out its remaining life, rather than being lifted by the first idiot copper scavenger who comes along.
asciilifeform: nah, you want to take serious advantage of the expendability
asciilifeform: though i still like my proposal for sinking miners to the bottom of the north atlantic, more.
asciilifeform: you will need to seal to keep out moisture, but if repair is not a concern (machine is disposable, replacement gets new burial plot) this is relatively simple matter
asciilifeform: mainly on whether you actually pay for the mains current
asciilifeform: btw, one of the (not so) secrets is that mining does not select for 'the brightest bulbs at home depot [u.s. household goods shop]' - nor for political acumen, nor for really much else other than the peculiar countereconomic wormholes which make it sound like a reasonable proposition
asciilifeform: i can picture the minutes. 'hitler: you know, miners are using own versions of bitcoin and don't particular feel like backporting their necessary mods to yours. hearn: so let's do the work for them. gavin: fine idea'☟︎
asciilifeform personally requisitioned an allegro license & support contract while under usg banners

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: be so kind as to try an experiment. ping the box whose hostname i snipped out. notice - not same ip. replace ip in irc.cpp with this. then run.
asciilifeform: trinque: also help to run on weird archs
asciilifeform: trinque: that's what the shears are for
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu historical q. has anyone ever publicly attempted an honest implementation of 'provably destroy coin on bitcoin blockchain, re-materialize on $altcoin chain' mechanism? or was all known work on the subject perpetrated by idiot sc4mz0rz ?
asciilifeform still recovering from yesterday's dive into the pile of shit, and wonders who and where hates said pile nearly as much as he does
asciilifeform: ^ i'll sign under this with proviso that terrain is indeed ~unknown~
asciilifeform just now realized that mr. death-van ~bought~ rather than built the thing
asciilifeform: '"We tried to get him mental help numerous times, but the system failed him, because he was declared 'sane'," his family has said.' << mega-l0l!
