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: ben_vulpes was there, saw this

asciilifeform: perhaps bury them in the earth (with chimneys for hot air.) sorta like the tombs in recoleta cemetary in buenos aires

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pre-emplaced in sand pits and fused mains wiring, for the inevitable halt&catchfire ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171397 << mno. if it's in the channel, it is a live pre-gavin node (OR crafted impostor...) ☝︎

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: aimed to replace 'seekrit miner versions'

asciilifeform: shitgang is trying to push a 'for miners' version of turdcoin ?

asciilifeform: if they don't, they are fools, and it isn't any fault of mine

asciilifeform sorta assumed that miners already optimize for snarfing up max fee ☟︎

asciilifeform: i don't get it. anyone was already able to specify arbitrarily high fee

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, BingoBoingo: what is so peculiar about including whatever transaction fee? this was always possible ..?

asciilifeform: how does it (claim to) work ?

asciilifeform does not, sadly, have time to personally follow all of the crackpotteries

asciilifeform: what even was this?

asciilifeform: http://franz.com/success << claimed endorsements. notably absent from list is usg, who i have strong reasons to believe is the main buyer.

asciilifeform: (very confusingly, there was also a 'franz lisp')

asciilifeform: which was the subject here

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: ~nothing whatsoever~ to do with allegro common lisp (franz inc.)

asciilifeform and has used allegro, and knows that it is, overall, superior in every way (but this) to the available alternatives

asciilifeform: closed-source toolchains can go die in a fire

asciilifeform: as in, is this a hardcoded idiocy in gcc proper ? its linker ? where ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-06-2015#1170972 << btw, anybody got a handy link to what precisely generates the message seen here ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: incidentally, anyone who owns old cars and frequents mechanics would have to be blind to suggest that usd is not palpably inflating ☟︎

asciilifeform reads the latest two articles from ben_vulpes

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: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171410 << 'chrome' (or, more practically, the open-source trimmable version 'chromium') is the only remaining graphical browser for unixlikes that isn't screamingly retarded ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i see in the logs where you had a node fail to snarf seed from the old irc

asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes what happened to posting debug.log
