asciilifeform: 'no panning required, shoots out of the ground'
asciilifeform: i always pictured those as 'learn how to GET RICH FAST' etc scam variant. 'LEARN WHERE EASY GOLD IS'
asciilifeform: it dun explain why they gotta be imported from bananistan tho -- wat, not enough made locally ?
asciilifeform: for this particular experiment i am only interested in the pubkeys. which i expect will - yes - sit down in the space of a '700mb warez film'...
asciilifeform historically sweated many times to solve problem which consisted of 'make this unmanageable item manageable, i.e. ram-fitting at reasonable cost'
asciilifeform: this is a practical consideration, if it sits down in ram, it is practical to arithmetize over.
asciilifeform: ftr my internal heuristic is 'if it fits in main ram of my smallest boxes, it ain't large'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: coupla GB, if represented as naked tx
asciilifeform: a whole army of folx seem to have worked very hard indeed to make this as painful as possible
asciilifeform: ( on which operations will presumably take week+ each )
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform tested various proggies purporting to extract utxoset. each and every one, shite. e.g. 'bitcoin-abe' works in geological speed, and promises to produce multi-TB sql turd
asciilifeform: fromloper: register a key, it doesn't take long
asciilifeform: if it still holds btc, theoretically boobytrapped shitcoin client can send priv to enemy
asciilifeform: fromloper: because chances are that you haven't read every line of the proggy that you are about to throw the privkey into
asciilifeform: 1) move the btc using trb, to new addr 2) import (now empty on btc chain) privkey into shitcoin node 3) empty the shitcoins into a gox 4) sell
asciilifeform: fromloper: again depends WITH WHAT. if you haven't audited the thing you are importing the privkey into, you are best off moving the btc first.
asciilifeform: also take note of the fact that a shitcoin node can take more than a week to sync, the thing is quite buggy and slow
asciilifeform: then move the shitcoins to a gox, and sell.
asciilifeform: shinohai: possibly because it is exactly the tractor thread. all intellectualpropertytardisms are ~exactly same, under the surface.
asciilifeform: ( and offload cost of chasing and arresting 'dmca violator' folx who offer to saw spikes off, to the great inca, naturally )
asciilifeform: sell sofa with spikes, retract spikes for $1/hr☟︎
asciilifeform: hey if microshit can, why not everybody.

asciilifeform: ion to facilitate the owner’s evacuation. ... the company has put in place the emergency measure to temporarily extend the range of the vehicles of Tesla owners in the path of Hurricane Irma. ... a Tesla owner in a mandatory evacuation zone required another ~30 more miles of range to optimize his evacuation route in the traffic and they reached out to Tesla who agreed to a temporary access to the full 75 kWh of energy in the batter
asciilifeform: in other crippleware lulz, https://archive.is/Ga295 >> 'Tesla used to offer the option to buy a Model S or Model X with a 75 kWh battery pack software-locked at a capacity of 60 kWh. The option would result in a less expensive vehicle with a shorter range, but the option to pay to remotely enable the longer range at a later stage. ... Tesla had temporarily unlocked the remaining 15 kWh of the car’s software-limited battery pack opt
asciilifeform: ( and ftr what this eggog results in is a complete failure to find the longestchain. )
asciilifeform: if anyone knows of what, if anything, is peculiar re either of these, plx to write in.
asciilifeform: the former is blk#188528 and the latter 188529, ftr.
asciilifeform: the 1 useful thing intel did in its entire life, was to introduce sane asm syntax. but unixtards, as is their custom, ignored.
asciilifeform: spyked: gas syntax ( i.e. mov %ebx, %eax ) reminds me of how some folx, whose mothers dropped them when they were small, buy textbook and paint over EVERY WORD with yellow highlighter pen ( i have seen these in used bookstores , the yellow ink almost drips from the page )
