mircea_popescu: i wasn't proposing to treat the binturds as genesis themselves, no. attached exactly in manner fg did it
asciilifeform: so genesis the text file, and it contains the turd hashes. this is what i did with fg.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the interesting part is where you change 1 byte and you get sony's copy protection in a new package.
mircea_popescu: v is still needed to manage the metadata on them. such as you know, the textfile explaining how to produce them and what (at least) portions say
asciilifeform: they carry no meaning at all. change 1 byte and you get a turd every bit as large as the genesis.
mircea_popescu: what you mean is "the diffs aren't directly meaningful" which is true, but also what can we do ?
asciilifeform: it's a perfectly ordinary use of sig ( supposing one remembers to write proper disclaimer, 'i sign what i found , from wherever' ) . but not of v -- the diffs aren't meaningful
