(asciilifeform) qonfluent: Of course, probably to an even greater extent. It's sad, but unless I can get together the cash to spin out custom silicon it's about as close as I could get. Sucks that everything has to run through shitware top to bottom. While I might not be able to remove the stink, at least I can try to make a raft haha

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: not that it matters one lick in the general case -- ~all~ overflowlang shitware is effectively nsaware, i.e. has inexhaustible supply of exploitable bugolade.

(asciilifeform) adlai: and in the mildest of lulz, shitware wallet stuffed a bunch of extra zeros into the confirmed deposit; fortunately, on the safe side, so perhaps this can be considered a pitch-drop-paced drip
