mircea_popescu: i suppose the one republican element least likely to be readily digested (or for that matter even perceived on the first few passes) by the general public is that the republic most pointedly isn't an "online community" of the web ilk, namely a group of people who "since the space is here we'll squat" and "since we're squatting here we'll x", to then be governed by "codes of conduct" and to then be shephered into thinking that

Framedragger: and, i suppose, republican dns server could work in a way that already facilitates session-less communication - pgprams issuing orders to change zone files, etc.
Framedragger: so yeah, running a republican dns root would still imply "collaborating" with current internet infrastructure. reform, not revolution. something like, in those tmsr ISP discussion, someone e.g suggesting to acquire an autonomous system number for tmsr. "is it even worth it."
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. dns which serves the republicans, and thinking along those lines ("are you in good standing to even register a name?"), fair enough if you'd prefer to have someone else than me do the republican dns thing.
