mircea_popescu: so i broadcast 50k 140 byte txn. you allocate these, they fail, you deallocate them. before you had time to go through the lot however,
ascii_field: it was an epic lameness and a number of folks ought to have felt the stake
mircea_popescu: yes the locks thing
ascii_field: the bdb thng ?
mircea_popescu: in fact, this has happened (not due to the heap issue, true)
ascii_field: if such a thing could, then bitcoin is buggy and the sooner it is detonated, the better
mircea_popescu: kinda why idiots (and by that i mean satoshi) shouldn't be allowed to code in the first place. but hey, we believe in the power of belief...
mircea_popescu: yes but it's worse than that : if you have an elegant alocator and the people do not, your chain will fork and theirs will not.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field part of the problem is that you're stuck mushing together items that can arbitrarily be anything between 100 bytes and whatever, 250kb. and there's a lot of them. no way to allocate but dynamically, willy-nilly keep getting them allocated and deallocated and again and again.

asciilifeform: decimation: if thermodynamically expensive - the game ends sooner than chumps expect.
decimation: batteries can still be terrible and work okay if they become cheap
asciilifeform: most solar aficionados forgo the batteries entirely (!)
decimation: that part isn't clear - it depends where the house is located
