ascii_field: as so the thing doesn'
t end up running in O(N) time
mircea_popescu: ascii_field eh. proceeding from the other direction : not only is the need for a bdb datastore directly indicative of allignment problems, but moreover its presence virtually guarantees them. so no, i don'

mircea_popescu: "These aren'
t words that an American or a European politician can utter in public, and perhaps not even whisper to their significant other while lying in bed, because the American eavesdroppers might overhear them, and then the politician in question would get the Dominique Strauss-Kahn treatment"

t the 'same ting'

t have any of those.
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 20:26:24; ascii_field: these aren'

t really a fair representation of the problematic hambeasts
BingoBoingo hoping I don'
t have to make a bunch of patches to the RPC for this to work

BingoBoingo: '
t much speed up sync because verification is still CPU bound

t aware that exactly the same thing as dumpblock output is the phoundation's bootstrap.dat << As far as I'm aware the "bootstrap.dat" never got implemented in a way that worked beyond the first 2GB of blockchain on pre-v0.8 clients
jurov: ascii_field probably isn'
