asciilifeform: lelz

asciilifeform: decimation: i haven't any idea what 'the bitcoin developers' are. presumably it's a mythical set that includes, even us.

asciilifeform: decimation: the patch removed crap that was ifdef'd out anyway

asciilifeform imagined that unix patch util actually works, and that this were not necessary

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: i didn't submit a hash for post-patch!

asciilifeform: both prior to patch

asciilifeform: there were two manifests; one from stock tarball, one from just the necessaries (hand-deleted crud)

asciilifeform: match how?

asciilifeform: but go and, say, diff his binary with yours.

asciilifeform: this isn't really a mega-challenge

asciilifeform: so can anyone

asciilifeform: decimation: chef could easily chop wrong carrot, might accidentally end up with the less-usg-flavoured kind

asciilifeform: dead here

asciilifeform: big advertisement for rectothermal cryptanalysts << i've seen worse. there's some fool driving around my town with '0DAY'.

asciilifeform: 'never show anyone your public key' << 'in the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces!' (zapf brannigan, 'futurama')

asciilifeform: decimation: 0.5.3 UPNP - it's condemned to die, if that weren't obvious

asciilifeform: decimation: 'secure' bitcoin branch, as well as the dependencies << lol, read his faq! usg linux!

asciilifeform would like to suggest a term, 'dependently wealthy'

asciilifeform: tempest horn doesn't have to belong to the crown.

asciilifeform: and 3-5 of them are reading log here.

asciilifeform: there's maybe 10 worthwhile 'patients' alive.

asciilifeform: and wai wat, who ever said tempest needs to scale.

asciilifeform: or if it will have to wait for mechanicoin.

asciilifeform wonders if anyone has returned to paper tape

asciilifeform: print - with ordinary printer.

asciilifeform: then can read a la phonograph.

asciilifeform: if going for optical, better keep it edisonian. as in, helically-inscribed 1d barcode.

asciilifeform: every single one i've ripped open, had a micro

asciilifeform: back to qr codes per se: who builds the reader with no stateful internals?

asciilifeform: no idea what it costs, other than the fact usg can get as many of these as it likes.

asciilifeform: it was announced with some fanfare, too. (who has the balloon link?)

asciilifeform: there's one flying not far from where i live.

asciilifeform: done with automatics, usable by chimp, approx. the size of iPnohe (minus receiving horn)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you really think it's still done with a van full of knob-twiddling sp00kz0rz ?

asciilifeform isn't thrilled with the encouragement of exposing privkeys to the atmosphere, so to speak, by trivial optical export

asciilifeform: really belongs as a piped apparatus though

asciilifeform: can.

asciilifeform: tempest.

asciilifeform: everyone in the room & across the street can see.

asciilifeform: crappy separator

asciilifeform doesn't see why qr code modem belongs in the already overcrowded rocket

asciilifeform waits for someone to say 'i keep all me coin in the iPnohe'

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: but why qr codes?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: your chronicles: 'importprivkey' is more or less inescpable (how the fuck can one do anything technological with the thing, lacking it?)

asciilifeform bored, wanders off to pet pet

asciilifeform: like what ?

asciilifeform: add what ?

asciilifeform: first - the skin warts. then the tumours.

asciilifeform: notice i left it in

asciilifeform: yes

asciilifeform: from the start

asciilifeform: that was my suggestion

asciilifeform: (not the ecdsa calls - well, them too, ought to be redone - but the https idiocy. needs to go.)

asciilifeform: here's some unambiguous crap - ssl

asciilifeform: json parser - crap

asciilifeform: i gave example.

asciilifeform: doesn't get any smaller or simpler than scuttling the obvious crud.

asciilifeform oils gachette of slash&burn blaster

asciilifeform just wanted a goddamned book he could take to the forest and go Hmmm with

asciilifeform hasn't done particularly much something

asciilifeform: (assuming we're doing something)

asciilifeform: slash&burn first is more or less what we're doing

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu won't give us his soviet calculator proggy, dooming us to rewrite it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu lol

asciilifeform: and no need for bdb, boost, turdolate on other box

asciilifeform: if doing this, why not do correctly

asciilifeform: aye

asciilifeform: where tx is baked

asciilifeform: why? that belong on the other side of optoisolator

asciilifeform: for privkey decrypt?

asciilifeform: pinentry?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu aye

asciilifeform trying to remember why he was even doing this

asciilifeform: (nonblocking fopen)

asciilifeform: the correct solution is that (now unix-only) turdcoind will listen on a tty. serial tty. ☟︎

asciilifeform: or generate an addr

asciilifeform: well, presumably you may occasionally want to transmit a tx

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is it gonna transmit tx via polling too? lol

asciilifeform: or it would've been peeled off long ago.

asciilifeform: can't just gently peel it off.

asciilifeform: mod6: when shitgnomes glue their crap on, they use paste with broken glass. ☟︎

asciilifeform: correct

asciilifeform: mod6: you've created a deafmute bitcoind

asciilifeform: mod6: check out what the command line cmds actually do in 0.5.3

asciilifeform: no chumpnet without a few of those can be considered complete.

asciilifeform: amazing company.

asciilifeform: lulz

asciilifeform: 'Hey, I have been looking to buy xrunner but can't find it. I have tried spelling it different ways. Anyone able to direct me?' --- first 'google' hit

asciilifeform: ^ crud manifest. for no-crud, similar

asciilifeform: ah well.

asciilifeform: i suppose i should've thrown that in there.

asciilifeform: while in src dir

asciilifeform: find . -xtype f -print0 | xargs -0 sha256sum > ../bitcoin-0.5.3.sha256.manifest

asciilifeform is actually rather sure that 'boost' itself leaks.

asciilifeform: because the only genuinely curative pill is: fits-in-head.

asciilifeform: i always hated the emphasis on those

asciilifeform: whatchawaitingfor

asciilifeform must note that there is only so much turdsmithing he is willing to do without a good reason.

asciilifeform: will have to be done, though.
