ben_vulpes is surprised asciilifeform's parser can handle

the piece

that work should be fun and happen in a fun place only serve

the datadir .bitcoin with rm -rf *; whenever I do an rpc call after
the

to
the node I specify gets basic

the issue. what "turd world" ?
third world ?
mircea_popescu: or did i misconstrue your question and you weren't asking something along
the lines of "how COULD you stick your penis in brown!!1"
