asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which kamikaze are you thinking of here ? the one in late 1200s ?
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, the sultan of 1001 nights is a guy with infinite wealth ; that is his form, and his function. and the stories about how the virgin got a lot for less than her life are the life and blood of village life. hope, i suppose, after a (very oricsh) fashion.
mircea_popescu: every empire's history is intimately predicated on the invention of some kind of bezzle.
mircea_popescu: so the satrap of fuckistan got paid a gold coin and a golden caftan worth anothjer gold coin, and counted himself happy. whereas the daymio's men couldn't be paid anything upon the kamikaze, and so the4y rebelled.
mircea_popescu: the traditional caliphate, incidentally, exists as a memory today (ie, a cultural mark) and existed historically (ie, as a civilisation) principally, and i do mean that, ~principally~ because an early fellow invented the superb literary device of giving people in payment not just actual value, but caftans! strips of cloth written on! that then they can value to whatever arbitrary value they wish, to offset the absurd valuatio

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: lel, i was wrong re their 'gossipd', it was written, by unknown commercial contractor: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/files/Fluxwire_manual-3.5.0.pdf << docs.
asciilifeform: trinque: the move to intel, killed it, intel iron wants megatonne of initialization crapolade
asciilifeform: https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_36405256.html << re the 'internal gossipd', at the time of the writing appears to be entirely hypothetical
trinque: it may sadden those that don't yet know that open firmware was a dead simple forth nugget. i.e. in the sense that apple for a brief time meant dead simple.

Framedragger: i see - i'm behind on the internet of shit it seems
asciilifeform: which is why you'll often find trb-related tcp pipes randomly RST'd, and the like.
asciilifeform: various cisco rootkits, also, but these i regard as a snore
BingoBoingo: ty asciilifeform, figured I'd take big picture leaving opportunity for experts to fill in mined lulz with further submissions
asciilifeform: ( from the docs of the active ios9+ browser driveby-with-arbitrary-payload. which hopefully surprises nobody )
asciilifeform: so added a couple of new members and changed some sizes in the struct scheme.These are fairly trivial to reverse but comparing each function in a disassembler with the Tiny Scheme source version. Apple uses Tiny Scheme to create a vector of sandbox rules that it then converts to a compiled sandbox profile....'
asciilifeform: 'Apple seems to have taken version 1.38 of the Tiny Scheme project (available online, google it or check workshop output) and modified it a little. Most modifications are fixes for the most obvious bugs in the program: changing sprintf to snprintf and adding some more size checks but they have not fixed everything. In fact, they haven't even bothered keeping up with the Tiny Scheme project, which is now on version 1.41. Apple have al
asciilifeform: in other lulz, nsa has internal clone of ida, 'ghidra'
mircea_popescu: that's why the forum's here for.
davout: asciilifeform: knowing about incoming txes before they've confirmed?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that is one of the most obvious uses, aha
mircea_popescu: because now - they can ssh connect!
asciilifeform: and trinque has it : i've put up nodes that communicate outside the house ~only~ via eatblock
trinque: why would it send either? crap a signed tx and operator feeds it to network node
mircea_popescu: if net-trb decides to engage in a reorg, it will eventually induce one in all the wallet-trbs connected to it.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't store ~the mempool~ is all.
mircea_popescu: meh. wallet doesn't NOT store the chain. it's just stock trb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just about. and large in the sense of alcatel not in the sense of alphabet, at that.
trinque: davout: there is also eatblock
davout: see, i don't see how it could be done without designing another way for nodes to communicate in another way than the currently existing protocol
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's the simplest-possible, which still doesn't promise it's simpler than any arbitrary level.
mircea_popescu: sounds about the level.
asciilifeform: 'AVG will sometimes heuristically identify Raptor/Melomy/Ferret trojans as, well, Trojans (duh). However, in many cases this heuristic detection can be avoided by renaming the .exe to a common installer name such as setup.exe. There may be other names that can be used – Windows itself recognizes a few "installer" exe names and slaps the little shield icon on there by default and also does that weird "this program didn't install c
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is like the paradigm of thought.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-07#1622815 << davout why would you need to store all of these?! just fire them, through the diode, at the wallet box that is actually computing addr balances , 1 at a time
mircea_popescu: and so there you go
mircea_popescu: then you can take stock trb, operate on it, and so people interested can pick both version, have internal-external couple.
davout: well, as i understand it the end result is a different set of binaries that talk together through a $to-be-defined queue mechanism
davout: so now, re your description, i'm not sure what a good start would be, because cutting it the way you described sounds like a mega-project that encompasses more than the mere wallet
