asciilifeform: ( picture for a moment trying to sell a working airplane to cargocultists. 'what's petrol?' 'this thing is heavy' 'waitasec i have to learn to read?!' etc )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't as if mr.t et al were using actual crypto themselves
asciilifeform: aha, the worst indias actually look pretty good standing next to baltimore.
asciilifeform: well that's what i am wondering, if you're entirely 'not mp', then should be prepared to pay orbital prices for 'white man' terraforming ? or this is overly pessimistic, and the local won't (why not?) charge you a kind of ad hoc 'laffer curve' maximum they think you can bear without going broke ?
asciilifeform: phf: recall the thread with mircea_popescu re the traffic cops in some african shithole ? where millionaire 'i can pay whatever, fuck you' and the next day finds that the fines have grown six decimal places for him
asciilifeform: (the difference is that you don't normally ~need~ a mast there)
asciilifeform: this aspect doesn't differ much from usa
asciilifeform: as i picture it, a, e.g., mircea_popescu , would apply the only known pill: to create a kind of miniature british raj, where the locals know the consequences of misbehaviour☟︎
asciilifeform: i.e. your generators will cost 10x what they do in usa, locals will make bank and laugh
asciilifeform: my current (by no stretch of the imagination expert) understanding is that if you try to build this entirely using money, you will simply get raped
asciilifeform: 'white man' would be : in that mansion, with coolie-powered air conditioning, and roquefort ad libitum.
asciilifeform: that ain't 'white man', that's 'live like american plankton'
asciilifeform: of shinohai's : 919504c2ed1fd687f26b8b91033466854fe295464ac281abd3d83456208922a60d2844edecd4e330d7b329c24c7772289e0d32620b6dc0b8bf772b36efae98bf
asciilifeform: sha512 of the exe i linked earlier : fa8f822c8f0d86f419ef94ffe80bdbfd4966169f4d3becec8b5cd4bf693ad11c1c8f91d3cfb74664cfc910a326f4bc799613847cf56aa12c3ff6124121626b6e
asciilifeform: shinohai: INTERESTINGLY the checksums do not match !!
asciilifeform: (my memory, apparently, was correct, he published a winturd along with 1st source)
asciilifeform: hm, now that i think of it, the question of 'against which openssl was it built' may be.. answerable. mircea_popescu : did satoshi ever distribute a binary ?
