bounce: plenty people falling for the ruse though
mircea_popescu: bounce: did I get that about right? << "that bitcoin thing, aka some fiat nonsense trying to call itself bitcoin", rather than "this bitcoin thing" :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (rampant memory leakage is not 'works') << it's not rampant. more like a calender than a ruptured pipe. it... sweats memory :D
BingoBoingo: undata: Well you also have to consider, anatomically that mean focusing on their left side and trying to slot in between just the right ribs, vs left side just hitting anything open and soft hoping for the abdominal aorta

mircea_popescu: so the plan is, a) make new processor file as ascii art in emacs
asciilifeform has private fork of sbcl, it has nothing to do with this
mircea_popescu: good lord, he wants to rewrite cl as part of rewriting bitcoin
ben_vulpes: note that asciilifeform says "my cl".

mircea_popescu: nothing to do with bitcoin, well documented bdb issue.
