- Discussion of Stratum mining protocol’s ability to perform “blockchain-less” mining and the possibility of dynamically switching which blockchain a Stratum client is hashing on without dropping the TCP connection.  
- Mention of existing profit-switching services that automatically move miners among alt-coins based on real-time exchange-rate data, but no evidence that manual, on-the-fly chain switching has been publicly implemented.  
- Observation that most open-source Stratum/p2pool code is written in Python, easing modification, yet heavy reliance on Twisted is viewed as a drawback.  
- Reference to “slush” (founder of the first Bitcoin mining pool) being located in Prague and formerly active in the local hackerspace, though no longer seen regularly.  
- Brief holiday greeting (“Merry Capitalismas”) and light banter, but no other substantive technical or transhumanist content appears in the remainder of the log.
