ben_vulpes: jurov: can you straighten the s3 bucket backing therealbitcoin.org out?
ben_vulpes: i'd almost rather stick it behind a webserver running on the same host as the mailman app.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've pushed an update to the site, but the byzantine serving mechanism isn't providing it for some reason.
ben_vulpes: the site i want to serve has links to /charter.html, /v0.5.3-gd05c03a.tar.gz and other stuff
asciilifeform: 'elephant garden' << see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0c_cUcgOEI

ben_vulpes: hey asciilifeform do a sapper a favor and start emailing your patches to btc-dev@therealbitcoin.org
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: how to package them?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that is, attachment?
ben_vulpes: .tar.gz, including patch and detached sig.
ben_vulpes: same as we've been doing.
asciilifeform: body of message?
ben_vulpes: is such necessary?
asciilifeform: yes!
asciilifeform: it should be a functioning mail list
ben_vulpes: a description of contents should suffice.
asciilifeform: we should be able to talk using it
ben_vulpes: at the moment it's not even relaying mail to me.
asciilifeform: useless then
ben_vulpes: hardly.
ben_vulpes: not as useful as it *will* be, granted.
ben_vulpes: but a vast improvement over your pooping patches into the noisestream here.
asciilifeform: aha sure, but i still end up crapping out descriptions of patches here
ben_vulpes: yes, please do.
ben_vulpes: but this right here http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-October/thread.html constrains the filtering problem to something vastly more manageable.

asciilifeform: jurov: did you ever get message-as-attachment working?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-October/000001.html ??
asciilifeform: that's a turd!
asciilifeform: the text should be visible in www browser
asciilifeform: if only for spamatronic search engine presence
ben_vulpes: woof turd indeed
ben_vulpes: stinky
ben_vulpes: <jurov> asciilifeform: mailman will display gpg clearsigned attachment inline if you rename it to .txt (and i don't ned to diddle code then)
ben_vulpes: have you tried that?
asciilifeform: about to
asciilifeform: sent...

ben_vulpes: seems escaped in the body as well
ben_vulpes: what, you want a custom mailman in 2 days?

ben_vulpes: returning to my original point, please email the set of your patches and sigs to benkay@gmail.com, asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: (and anyone else interested in patching)
asciilifeform: i'll wait for working turdatron.
asciilifeform: hate doing things twice
ben_vulpes: i'm waiting on turdatron for merges, as well.
ben_vulpes: logs are great, but this shit will benefit strongly from a mailman list record of actions and discussions.
asciilifeform: aha.

ben_vulpes: yeah.
ben_vulpes: what's the rush, anyways?
asciilifeform secretly hopes that folks other than him will pick this thing up when turdatron is operational

assbot: Deed kLuzx7GD | #bitcoin-assets deed registry
mats_cd03: interesting decision, keeping the name
asciilifeform: mats_cd03: mircea_popescu's idea
punkman: ok so I'm pretty sure bot never validated signatures
asciilifeform: in other news...
asciilifeform: http://cryptome.org/stasi-list.htm
asciilifeform: (how news? exercise for alert reader)
undata: asciilifeform: news that stasi found their way back into power? I'll bite. News... how?
ben_vulpes: punkman: can you give that to me in raw format? i'm seeing ^M all over the place
punkman: ben_vulpes: what, you don't have utf?
ben_vulpes: curl deedbutts > deebut.html
ben_vulpes: cat deedbut.html ... poopy

mats_cd03: stasi list? sounds like a good name for the courts circus project.
ben_vulpes: or bash emacs into submission
punkman: so apparently I need to download everyone's key to bot pubring
ben_vulpes: yes, yes you do.
punkman: perhaps obvious if not stupid
ben_vulpes: you should really grab fingerprints out of otc db and then import those keys.
punkman: I blame GPG library
ben_vulpes: how can you possibly verify a signature without the key?!
punkman: that's where the stupid kicked in
ben_vulpes: are you willing to share the source for deedbot?
punkman: yeah as soon as I rewrite this part
ben_vulpes: mkay.
kakobrekla: emm
kakobrekla: cam you gettrust by key ?
kakobrekla: can*
kakobrekla: assbot doesnt have any pub keys locally, just asks gribble
kakobrekla: by [ident nick]
kakobrekla: you can do same?
punkman: yeah but I gotta verify the deeds
kakobrekla: aha
bounce: compare and contrast ``Bitcoin Foundation: We Don3t Want Everyone Starting a Bitcoin Business'' with ``Open Letter to Bitcoin Businesses: Why I'm closing my accounts'' on the bitcoinfoundation.org forum
undata: bounce: read that earlier; that guy gets it.

cazalla: i bet this multisig shit turns into a customer service nightmare for coinbase
ben_vulpes: hee hee hee
ben_vulpes: on the topic of "no more bitcoin businesses" the bitcoin foundation is finally capitulating and following in MPEx's footsteps.
ben_vulpes: 2(?) years later.
ben_vulpes: punkman: fwiw, i get a bad sig out of that
nubbins`: i get btc address 12cKT5TpNzKMMD7gNAthMbtp1VaVQUebW1 out of it
nubbins`: i also get bad sig
ben_vulpes: punkman: without the deed title i get a good sig
nubbins`: :o
nubbins`: like if you cut that line out?
nubbins`: oh, uh, so do i
nubbins` raises a third eyebrow
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: how on earth do you get a btc addr out of it
nubbins`: ben_vulpes by running it through my deed verifier, natch
ben_vulpes makes faces
ben_vulpes: oh, i get it.
ben_vulpes: i've not gone so far.
nubbins`: anyway, the DEED_TITLE line was added after the sig was generated
ben_vulpes: heresy
nubbins`: it's not even heresy
ben_vulpes: making a thing that can't be dumped into gpg and produce a clean sig?
ben_vulpes: clean verification i mean
nubbins`: nope. not heresy, just nonsense :D
nubbins`: i am unable to verify two of the 5 processed deeds: 6LTeLfd6Scf1sgq9qmAYCT51oqoNmGP4k9uBp9oZtwR1 and kLuzx7GDPg8uXRawaZG9ndU7hfTd8CBHSTCCffSdzLA
nubbins`: the other three verify just fine
nubbins`: for the deed contained in 6LTeLfd6Scf1sgq9qmAYCT51oqoNmGP4k9uBp9oZtwR1 i generate a deed id of 6zUpQ65f28U8e8AHYJ1nL7tcLgNxamJg37LJCo3rxksq

mircea_popescu: "oh i know, let's go for double whammy! that'll teach us!"
nubbins`: punkman: the 4 pending deeds all verify as well
mircea_popescu: punkman: so apparently I need to download everyone's key to bot pubring <<< how else.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: i am unable to verify two of the 5 processed deeds: <<< software never fails eh stan ? if it worked once it always works right ? :DF
mircea_popescu: SCAM!
punkman: nubbins`: problem with 6LTeLfd6Scf1sgq9qmAYCT51oqoNmGP4 is the escaped html in the <pre> you are grabbing
nubbins`: ah
nubbins`: gpg: BAD signature from "Hannah Wiggins (hanbot) <han.bot@gmail.com>"
nubbins`: yeah, lookit that
nubbins`: hmm...
punkman: here is python verifier http://dpaste.com/05YF5VH
assbot: dpaste: 05YF5VH
ben_vulpes: just put the repo into sunlight
mircea_popescu: nubbins` www.printresgroup.com/ << here's a gem.
nubbins`: so
nubbins`: i apologize if this seems obtuse
nubbins`: i can't copy/paste the deeds because of line endings
nubbins`: and i can't fetch via curl because the website has escaped all the html chars inside the deeds
nubbins`: :S
punkman: you can get the raw bundle
mircea_popescu: punkman you know htmlizing chars is horribru practice.
punkman: mircea_popescu: but it has html in deed
nubbins`: punkman where can i grab that?
ben_vulpes: woo
mircea_popescu: ugh
nubbins`: oh! nevermind
mircea_popescu: who the fuck makes html clearsigned things ;/
nubbins`: http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/raw_bundles/17/171BanmCMde84Zr28Z4EsCzXw4nGZdfPaG.rbundle
punkman: even if not actual html, html chars could break page, must be escaped
nubbins`: is the directory, e.g. /17/ always the first 2 chars of addr?
punkman: yes
nubbins`: hm
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure the idea is to sign the txt not the html
nubbins`: so to verify deed X, i need to first generate address Y from it, in order to grab the raw bundle
ben_vulpes: punkman: i'm not seeing the part where you shell out to gpg in there
nubbins` scratches head
nubbins`: are the raw deeds published, or just the raw bundles?
punkman: http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/BXZKQx2i/raw gives you base64, maybe I change it to actual raw and add /b64
punkman: also http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/BXZKQx2i/json

mircea_popescu: you recall that older observation re time covers ?

mircea_popescu: Whether or not a new world order of any sort is to be built is not just Russia's decision, but it is a decision that will not be made without Russia. << this is false incidentally.
mircea_popescu: we are making it, right here, and it specifically excludes "russia" in the sense of "putin"
asciilifeform: not that the old kings could visit even if they really wanted.

bounce: the stated purpose might be a good start
bounce: then you tally the side effecets and perhaps you can make a nice little table with false and true positives and negatives perhaps
bounce: those civil forfeitures for people "structuring" their deposits so their bank has less paperwork to do is clearly an effect but not, as far as I know anyway, a publicly stated purpose of the reporting rules
RagnarDanneskjol: the 'stated purpose could only be trolling for unauthorized activity. it would be the same as efficiency/efficancy of any other surveillance - its much better than nothing but not as good as they'd like. there would simply be all negatives for one party, all positives for the other
bounce: that sounds like a load of rationalisation bs.
RagnarDanneskjol: hmm, I actually couldn't comprehend how to gauge the proficiency of kyc/aml, so was trying to help you clarify for me
bounce: then look at what they're supposed to do, like look at the language used to introduce the regs.
bounce: "combat money laundering" -- what is money laundering and (leaving aside for the moment why it would need combating) how exactly do you discern when something is money laundering or not.
bounce: s/\./?/
bounce: if there's no sure-fire way then perhaps the whole idea of combating needs to be scrapped. if that isn't the case, you can look at what effects the regs have and tally incidents they have an influence on, discerning "this was money laundering" and "this wasn't", tally separately
bounce: that at least gives you an idea of its visible effects, which isn't the whole picture but at least is a start
RagnarDanneskjol: the definition for ML is fairly straight forward - like an arrow, it either hits a target or doesnt depending on archer's accuracy. what you're talking about there is the proficiency of individual arbiters weighing decisions to execute warrants.. I'd guess their accuracy varies rather widely
bounce: warrants? what do you mean, warrants?
RagnarDanneskjol: warrants to get customer data
bounce: that's much too narrow. people getting their accounts shut down because too much bother is also an effect of these same regulations.
RagnarDanneskjol: essentially unrelated to aml I believe. account closure without legal action is just business discretion/risk mgmt. Of course regs preempt cautionary' corporate policies if thats what you mean. back to the original question, its all positive for regulators/prosecutors, all negative for account holders. virus is possibly a good analogy- its all warm, positive, and welcoming for the vi

thickasthieves: he does almost sound like he's gonna pitch Bitcoin for a minute

jurov: punkman: i ended up calling gpg --recv-key directly
jurov: even then, it did some failures like "key rejected by input filter"
jurov: dunno any lib can handle that
punkman: jurov, I think I could publish a pubring that gets updated a couple times a day
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i suspect this is like the "myspace, music industry killer" idea a decade ago. yeah, it'd work, if people didn't suck. people do suck, and as a result, myspace dies.
jurov: punkman: incl. removals/revocations?
punkman: ideally
thickasthieves: i think "work" definition would change in this case
thickasthieves: from google being the curator, to newsearch being the db with sort
punkman: I am also considering making the bot spit out expiry/revocations in a diff channel
thickasthieves: google can still be google
mircea_popescu: it'd certainly be useful for linux-y types, me and google divorced when it took out the operands.
thickasthieves: and would be smart to move harder in the curation direction in the face of such a service
thickasthieves: they already are tho,
mircea_popescu: and google is the shittiest curator imaginable. people in commie romania thought they had it bad, but this is pointedly worse.
thickasthieves: Google Music, etc
thickasthieves: well thats why you use newsearch and lazy ignorants use goog
thickasthieves: i actually call it Project Search Party
mircea_popescu: "oh, everything is on wikipedia" is not curation. why the fuck would i want google to return a wikipedia result in the first place, what, as if i don't know they probably have a shitty article sort-of talking around topic x ?
thickasthieves: the project i'll never work on but always talk about
mircea_popescu: why aren't you working on it again ?
thickasthieves: how the fuck to make a search engine?
thickasthieves: i dont even mine!

thickasthieves: but i cant even manage getting someone to recompile altcoind for windows
thickasthieves: soooo
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves the way people do. you write down the task, break it up, write down the parts, break them up, read up on the topics, implement, refine...
mircea_popescu: what have all these other schmucks been doing ever since this chan started ?
punkman: I want to make personal search engine that gets fed with my browsing history, bookmarks, local content (email, logs, etc)
thickasthieves: i also would like (and surely others would to) a cumalitive customizable chart for bitcoin exchanges
thickasthieves: so i can choose which ones to combine into one chart
jurov: punkman KDE tried with akonadi... kinda works after years of prodding
mircea_popescu: such a consummate consumer this guy.
punkman: thickasthieves: I got code that can fetch ticker/trade data from dozens of exchanges
thickasthieves: punkman, this is kinda what cell phone OS are doing
jurov: such overarching systems are usable only for incredibly patient people like me
punkman: been wanting to put it into use
thickasthieves: when you search on android it digs into all kindsa shit
thickasthieves: punkman, are you capable of turning that into something that can output a custom file to feed into Metatrader or such?
nubbins`: ios/spotlight search too
punkman: yes
thickasthieves: and capable of serving such a chart on a website like bitcoinwisdom?
thickasthieves: (not bitcoinwisdom of course)
punkman: that'd take some time, lots of javascripts
punkman: unless I can export from metatrader
thickasthieves: i think traders would gobble it up
thickasthieves: a live aggragate chart with customizable tickboxes for exchanges
thickasthieves: aggregate
punkman: yeah and maybe sockets people can subscribe to
bounce: you built that fetch code?
thickasthieves: this was partly within my ideas for Coinflow, before bitcoin play exchanges all died
mircea_popescu: that's the risk, you put the work in, "traders" love it, then it turns out the "traders" are 500 redditards all sunk to the hilt in bitfinex/bitjam/whatever
mircea_popescu: then you make fiddy bitcents off them and a well.
thickasthieves: if you establish the user base, then you can become the dominant index provider
thickasthieves: Coindesk seems on this path, but theyre bound to fuck it up
mircea_popescu: you won't become the dominant index provider because people who matter don't chart and people who chart don't matter.
thickasthieves: but everyone wants to know the price
mircea_popescu: you will become the reddit index provider, which is not how you feed that market. you don't make goof stuff for the consumers, you make cheap shitty stuff for them
mircea_popescu: then hire people to tell them how it's all okay.
thickasthieves: lol
mircea_popescu: everyone does want to know the price, but a speshal few know you wouldn't know anyway.
mircea_popescu: this being kinda why all the however many exchange feed centralizers went nowhere.
thickasthieves: should there not be someone who is trying hardest to discern the price?
mircea_popescu: putting most work into != trying hardest necessarily. besides, what's this hardest, taking exchange feeds ?
thickasthieves: maybe mapping otc in there, trying to pry info from people like coinbase or bitpay, i dunno
thickasthieves: ur right tho
thickasthieves: other turdtards are already on this
mircea_popescu: not to be a parade pisser, but there's problems lurking.
thickasthieves: Winkdex
thickasthieves: Coindesk, etc
thickasthieves: i got off track anyway
mircea_popescu: generally what everyone thinks is the thing to do is wrong, which is why the "never compete in saturated markets" advice's served me so well over the years.
thickasthieves: the idea was to make the feeds managable
thickasthieves: not to curate
mircea_popescu: maybe my needs are unrepresentative, but i find they're served equally well by any of the older providers. bitcoincharts, bitcoinity, whatevers.
thickasthieves: true, this is more of a trader thing
thickasthieves: stemming from,
thickasthieves: there are big players working across exchanges
thickasthieves: so volume on one is far from representative
thickasthieves: so if you are attempting to chart or even look at trends or volume alone, you relaly need the whole picture

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves not at all. i mean something quite specific :
adlai: spouting bullshit is OK, as long as you curate it a bit better than just letting assbot dump it all in a text file
mircea_popescu: you say "hyper abstract". this is like in code, calling function X. compiler (me) goes wait, wut ? so you go "function X () { random banal shit; }"
mircea_popescu: now, it's entirely your privilege, as the human in this relationship, to define function x any way you please
mircea_popescu: but the particular definition you gave indicates to the compiler, were the compiler human, that a) you hadn't considered it before using it and b) as defined prolly doesn't serve you in any sense.
thickasthieves: i gave it such a name for this reason
mircea_popescu: how's that work ?
thickasthieves: as i knew i was about to explain something as i thought it, but i also knew it was a concept in my head from the past but which i have never articulated in words

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves obviously i can appreciate thinking is a process, and one has to make sense of one's [intellectual] history, etc.

assbot: Logged on 24-10-2014 20:24:45; mircea_popescu: maybe once it's over in the sense of, we're all drunk in the retirement home.
chetty: curiosity killed the cat
asciilifeform: perhaps his only runs on gurlz with arithmometers, how the fuck would i know
undata: it's a bit difficult to steer the direction of a decentralized network with no offering.
undata: BingoBoingo: justify the aptness of the metaphor first.
asciilifeform: i will answer the secret question which i can answer. 1) i personally can't pay rent with btc without giving up every other one to usg. 2) cost of extrication from gravity well is inconceivably high. 3) no one crowned me hero to begin with, why even ask.
undata: if there's an existing stripped down client the deturdification process is a waste of time
BingoBoingo: undata: Alright. Spz you're a Jew in olden times coming onto the battlefield with your nifty bronze sword. Now the Assyrians emerge from the horizon, but instead of bronze they have Iron!
undata: BingoBoingo: that metaphor has no resemblance to what does and does not benefit the functioning of a decentralized network
undata: I'm not going to bother.
asciilifeform: undata: http://explo.yt/post/2014/10/29/some-dangerous-idea << i just wanted a fcking book.
assbot: A dangerous idea - serialized delusions
asciilifeform: ^ jurov's chronicle
asciilifeform: but 1) i'm not interested in a book with gavin's excretions 2) not interested in a book describing system which does not work on battlefield.
undata: asciilifeform: yep I was around for that convo
asciilifeform: undata: so you know. boat - has no motor.
asciilifeform: no sails, no oars.
asciilifeform: just sorta, vaguely, floats.
undata: if only there were some way to organize the efforts of a large number of people around projects
undata: :p
undata: some kind of open process of producing source code
asciilifeform: undata: result - gavin.
asciilifeform: openssl.
asciilifeform: enjoy
undata: asciilifeform: see: libressl
asciilifeform: turd sans scatole is still turd.
undata: everything is shit but the speaker
asciilifeform: hero? straight to sword.
undata: reasoning by metaphor has its strengths and weaknesses
asciilifeform: i would love to see it proven that what i've said is a load o'shit.
undata: receiving money isn't the only way to invest in your own goals
undata: I need a programmable, robust client for my own applications
asciilifeform: the idependantly wealthy - straight to sword.
BingoBoingo: undata: Well, avoiding starvation and the sword are obstacles on the road to goals.
undata: oh please
undata: you don't have 5 hours a week?
undata: I do.
asciilifeform: I need a << i need an airplane
undata: there's an absurd orthodoxy around here
BingoBoingo: What absurd orthodoxy?
asciilifeform: undata: the orthodoxy wants to be proven wrong. don't wait! fire.
undata: there's ample evidence in the market that one can reduce cost and increase quality by open sourcing the things not directly in your moneymaking pipeline
undata: I'm not going to argue the merits of open source
undata: you people are all on linux or bsd
asciilifeform: undata: this is how we got the extant bitcoind. if you like it - you know where to find it
BingoBoingo wonders about serious matters such as will Cardano prototype factory make the eventual loper prototype
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> why am i even telling this, go run it << sir you are a gift to the logs
undata: asciilifeform: that is a problem of the artists and not painting
asciilifeform: undata: yes, we know the ru/jewish saying 'the bad dancer is hindered only by his arse.' this should be seen as an invitation to the good dancers.
undata: asciilifeform: where's the source
undata: stock 0.5.3 still?
BingoBoingo: <undata> asciilifeform: that is a problem of the artists and not painting << No, this is a problem of no one fucking reading and the world burning because the entire stacks sucks because unread. Worked until it didn't
asciilifeform: 'плохому танцору яйца мешают'
undata: BingoBoingo: lets do nothing then
undata: life is too challenging
BingoBoingo: undata: No, you do things. You just have to understand the obstacles as you make your cue.
asciilifeform: undata: http://therealbitcoin.org contains origin tree. 'chicken' lists the remaining files after first trim. rm_... is ben_vulpes's patch;
undata: how was the 0.5.3 choice made?
undata: reasoning by metaphor or an actual assessment?
asciilifeform: undata: read log
undata: I was here.
undata: I want your opinion.
asciilifeform: undata: earliest (lightest-weight, least lines of gavin) version that is known to be compatible with the extant net.
undata: there are myriad bugfixes that will need to be backported
asciilifeform: undata: yes.

ben_vulpes: sweet. i can now custom index logs.
undata: I didn't initiate this thing; ben_vulpes do you have a desired process?
ben_vulpes: grab those patches, review, add sig if you want to put your ass on the line.
ben_vulpes: preferrably, build.
BingoBoingo wonders if there is anyone with more projects on their public plate than alf...
undata: what are the standards for "this goes"
asciilifeform: undata: i sorta initiated this thing, by pure accident.
asciilifeform: undata: but i have very little to do with it otherwise...
ben_vulpes: undata: we're currently blocked on a mailing list thinger that may or may not see the light of day anytime soon
ben_vulpes: i halfway think the gpg signature turdatron blocking merges and discussion needs to be nuked and implemented by some eager beaver later
undata: ben_vulpes: I'll just start a local git repo with stock 0.5.3, add your existing patches, and look into backporting a fix
asciilifeform: undata: standards << ben_vulpes and mod6 started, at instigation of mircea_popescu, a 'foundation', where somebody (them?) will sit as mergemaster
undata: process to submit is patch with signature?
asciilifeform: and decide what stays, what goes
asciilifeform: submit patch with signature, yes
asciilifeform: if you approve of another fellow's patch after honest study of it - you sign it as well
undata: alright. I'll take a look at it saturday.
ben_vulpes: if i don't have a thing going on on saturday we could even go so far as to pair
undata: ben_vulpes: k
asciilifeform: pair?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: share physical space, look at code as a...
asciilifeform: aha you're neighbours?
ben_vulpes: aye
ben_vulpes: dark mirror images of each other in some aspects
ben_vulpes: he - software as a service
ben_vulpes: i - software services
undata: different enough to be enjoyable
undata: this sounds fun
ben_vulpes: both starving big zone kulaks
BingoBoingo: lies ben_vulpes, you do service as a software
undata: ha not bad ^
ben_vulpes: am software
ben_vulpes: will serve
asciilifeform: in my patches, thus far, nothing truly earth-shaking, just a surgical removal of what i consider clearly poisonous
undata: roughly... flamethrower, bandaids, minimal socket API?
asciilifeform: didn't even touch api
asciilifeform: that requires actual replacement
undata: that can be a later discussion
asciilifeform: or you have a machine with no steering wheel
undata: but poking the thing is desirable
asciilifeform: me - i don't want jsonism in my book.
undata: asciilifeform: hear hear
asciilifeform: my next patch was going to be a removal of the magic strings (seed ip table, etc) and replacement with ascii configs, as suggested by mircea_popescu.
asciilifeform: but now i don't see this thing as going anywhere
undata: asciilifeform: oh come on, at least give it *two* weeks before utter failure
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform issues challenge now.
undata: :)
ben_vulpes: classic russian fatalism
asciilifeform: the bare naked minimum worthy of nubbins` book, is a gadget that functions, reliably, on current network
asciilifeform: with no weird 'now please delete blkindex' crud
asciilifeform: and no runaway memleaks
asciilifeform: the more gavin removal, likewise, the better
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform wants valground turd and...what is this 'delete blkindex'?
asciilifeform: ^ someone suggested this as a 'fix' for wedged blockchain load
asciilifeform: this is not tolerable.
ben_vulpes: what about bdb lock config?
asciilifeform: had no effect.
asciilifeform: why take my word for it - try it.
asciilifeform: do i need to explain why i asked for the book?
asciilifeform: or is it obvious to alert reader.
undata: asciilifeform: books fit in brains?
asciilifeform: not magically, no
undata: good outer bound though.
thickasthieves: so he can go to forest and see if it's broken
asciilifeform: so, in peacetime, if i live that long, i can take it to forest and write a 'popescuan' replacement.
asciilifeform: or if not i - one of you.
mats_cd03: such drama.
asciilifeform: right now we can't even make drama, the actors are drunk and spewing over the stage
mats_cd03: asciilifeform fears for his life, but won't flee to save it.
asciilifeform spews
mats_cd03: what is this.
undata: disagreement is good for you
asciilifeform: flee - need diamonds for schindler's train.
mats_cd03: a game of catching the falling knife?
undata: someone should write a book of #ba metaphors
undata: speaking of books.

asciilifeform: the mostly-empty wiki?
thickasthieves: maybe the foundation should take it over
ben_vulpes: nope
thickasthieves: hehe
ben_vulpes: get outta heah!
undata: I'll just grind out code and leave the speak to the pros
asciilifeform: undata: might want to investigate why the original does not, in fact, work.
asciilifeform: before adding code.
undata: asciilifeform: exercise to reader eh?
asciilifeform: (rampant memory leakage is not 'works')
undata: the grinding out code was a general statement of what I value
undata: talk is not a product
asciilifeform: straight to sword then.
undata cuts the knot in half
undata: asciilifeform: were we not talking about the kelvin way of versioning code?
undata: the same value applies to communication.
undata: I can send you a disassembled rube goldberg machine every time I open my mouth
