asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, jurov, whoever else is awake: anybody got a preferred build system they want to see used for toynode (as well as a name for the latter, toynode is ridiculous) ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: used to also be called 'alt right' or 'neoreaction'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: snore. 'moldosphere' etc. largely dead.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kings << that one, and $maxint others, are 'moldbuggian' blogs that appeared in imitation, nth generation copies of nth generation copies, etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it took about an hour to 'everybody knows'

asciilifeform: just like to them 'economics is what happens at the grocery counter' (from mircea_popescu article ?)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my understanding is that most folks in usa get mental picture of 'what the rich do' from film

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: think of it this way. space probe has radiotherm battery.

asciilifeform: http://www.irky.org/home/pogoplug_jtag << jtag pinouts for 'pogo'. he has a v2 (not 4) but pinout is same.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm paying 'book bill' that isn't that much lower than mr mold

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if only!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: everybody remembers arthur anderson

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he presumably picked wife, rather than being issued one

asciilifeform: mr mold's audience is not mircea_popescu but rather an intelligent student from somewhere in usa with some curiosity about 20th century but no knowledge of euro languages and only a faint idea of civilization

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 90+% of the 'good' mold is from '07-'10

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fact is, mr mold was not always a whore; iirc, he did run out of money, and descended into whoring from lack of a plan

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mr mold started with a very different kind of 'state agenda' (poorly articulated desire to... resurrect the stuart kings) and ended with... andreesen horowitz

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he ever say, why deleted ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, that one.

asciilifeform: that it might more efficiently manage a queueing of women in the city for processing by local mircea_popescu - possibly

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: modernized version of this sc4m4tr0n is 'services' where chump pays subscription (xx months Phr33333! l1mit3d t1m3!!!11) to get 'rewards' (coupons for things that he won't use / don't exist / end up costing even more than for others)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ...see how many COUPONS you find. to "save" generally 5-10 bux << popular chumpatronic device in usa, but fading on accout of the demise of dead tree newspapers

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: when 1200 usd/btc, did they take?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i suspect they would even refuse a brick of, e.g., iridium. because it isn't gold, they've never seen it, have no idea of its value nor even whether it's a stable element

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: splitting the net

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes et al: this has more than merely ceremonial effect, as, iirc, there are phoundation nodes that won't talk to < 0.8

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes et al: consider mutilating the version string. perhaps 'Serenissima 1.5.3.x' ?

asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu wants to hand these out at parties.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, et al: missing ingredient - armv5 build of bitcoind 0.5.3 with necessary patches - that is, 100% therealbitcoin-controlled seeds.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, et al: how it is to work: machine boots from nand flash, walks attached mass storage device list, tests if any contains ext3 filesystem with blockchain therein. if found, used. if not found, device is formatted and bitcoind runs there. runs inside a loop, if oomkilled - resurrected.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, et al: i have a working 'u-boot' for toy node (builds as CROSSDEV armv5 on x86 gentoo), working linux kernel built in same manner, boots from nand flash.
