asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2021-11-19#1000904 << added to spec the possible use of backslash escape char for this.
bitbot: (pest) 2021-11-19 PeterL: One question about the spec: is there some sort of escape character if you want to send a message starting with % instead of it being interpreted as a command to pest?
asciilifeform also added to 'rekeying' the condition where 'key offer's must not be identical. somehow forgot this yest.
jonsykkel: 14:00 stop station for update
jonsykkel: 14:01 <someone> one
jonsykkel: 14:02 start station
jonsykkel: 23:41 <someone> two
jonsykkel: here you wouldnt know about "one" msg until 23:41 as far as i can tell?
jonsykkel: shudnt there be msg to ask for hash of prev msg, that u would send to all pears on boot. so can getdata asap
asciilifeform: jonsykkel: possibly
asciilifeform: jonsykkel: currently you gotta wait for someone to speak
jonsykkel: indeed
asciilifeform: jonsykkel: could specify that a 'getdata' with null hash requests the most recent broadcast msg.
asciilifeform will let other folx comment.
jonsykkel: sounds good
jonsykkel: youd get the same thing with direct messages i guess too
asciilifeform would prefer not to add too many moar moving parts, with the possible exception of the above, and of this
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-18 21:04:25 asciilifeform: 1 item still not covered is the 'gimme my ephemeral port' thing. still need to think re the most compact way to do this.
asciilifeform added some clarification to 'getdata'

dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-18 17:46:26 asciilifeform: thinking about this -- it goes back to the boojum -- how wouldja 'put to work' proverbial 1000btc ? say someone brings it to you and 'how wouldja turn this into 3000 for me, that'd justify the risk of letting it leave my brainwallet at all?'
signpost: if mp had 1mil btc, or anywhere close, he had ample coin to start building the world he preferred to live in.
signpost: and to do this and still be mansa musa at the end of it.
signpost: and he'd have been richer for doing so even if the # of btc decreased a bit.
signpost: not a "richer in his soul" thing either, but rather because he can buy sane computers, can etc
signpost: as for us, yes, better stack sats and sit tight.
signpost not even king of the grass-hut-folk yet
signpost: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-11-18#1066723 << woohoo, just ate last version in the tub yest, will pull this one into my head today.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-18 22:49:51 asciilifeform: updated with prolly last change for this wk, folx who want to print and take to hammock, are invited to do so nao.
signpost: beautifully simple with room to (sensibly) extend. I'll have more feedback soon.
signpost: curious whether you see a role for working on obscuring which edges of the node graph are being used for direct messages. I can see utility in these messages hopping through friendlies when a station is under attack.
signpost: since encrypted to recipient, I don't see a problem with flooding my direct messages over the entire wot just like broadcasts. or perhaps I use this when I want to.

asciilifeform: signpost: re 'why pest' -- asciilifeform is a btc aficionado of the (nearly extinct, possib.) old school -- would like to live in world where can get paid in uninflating, untaxable coinz, and buy necessities of live in same. doubt that anyone living nao will live to see such thing, but asciilifeform specifically interested in work which could make it at least conceivable.
asciilifeform: *of life
asciilifeform: hence trb, ffa, pest, etc. ( historically, asciilifeform would actually prefer to work on foundations of sane computing per se. but switched tacks on acct of above. esp. given that asciilifeform discovered to his satisfaction that actual sane computing is a fab-complete problem. )

asciilifeform: 'hey, new target for do-ocracy!'
signpost: indeed, incidentally I reread the bitcoin whitepaper last night too. would love to see an elegant rewrite *without the scriptlang* someday.
signpost: the basic idea is so elegant, and yet.
signpost has no delusions that this would overtake bitcoin, just oughta exist in a museum somewhere.
asciilifeform: signpost: it imho aint esp. hard to do a 'proper bitcoin' (recall various 'trbi' threadwanks). the problem is pow and 'the atc death'.
asciilifeform: afaik no known approaches to a solution there.
asciilifeform: ( and see also e.g. )
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-08 09:36:03 asciilifeform: i.e. the 'responsibility collapse triangle' of collectivist failure where there's 'users' who 'just want', and a set of 'providers' who are to supply the thing they 'just want', and somehow they are to live happily-ever-after together w/out one sticking knife in the back of the other
signpost not in possesssion of any solutions to "mining is a bug" just yet either
shinohai sees signpost setting up those btc miner containers everywhere there is natgas flareoff and mining problems solved.
signpost: shinohai: some mining experiments aren't out of the question in time.
asciilifeform: shinohai: not really -- 'flare' gas nao no longer phree, now that btc miners willing to buy it
signpost: interested in the solar one, less regulatory bullshit to worry about
asciilifeform: shinohai: you'd have to have with what to outbid'em
asciilifeform: even pv panels aint phree
asciilifeform: that's the thing, 'spittoon is in one strand'
signpost at least has a relative to bounce ideas off in the pv arena
signpost: the passively cooled miner asciilifeform supposed would definitely have a market.
asciilifeform: if it's a btc miner -- yes
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's pov is that the process which 'monetized' btc prolly cannot be repeated. (and various scammer's attempts to repeat it are red herrings)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-17 18:41:38 asciilifeform: aand shitcoins will prolly always remain an attractive nuisance to the dimwitted who reason (correctly!) 'the derps who were there around shitoshi in '09 were no better than me, wai can't i have 1000 btc, maybe can if we can replay history'
signpost: curious if anybody has done the "cheap as dirt and zillions of 'em" approach to miners correctly yet
signpost: asciilifeform: nah, probably not, but perhaps could have chains that interact in some way.
signpost suspects the drug trade monetized btc
signpost: i.e. distributed early coin widely enough
asciilifeform historically very skeptical of 'interacting chains', on the btc end these always require prbistic 'softforkism' 'voluntary' narrowings of the protocol
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-19 11:32:46 signpost: curious if anybody has done the "cheap as dirt and zillions of 'em" approach to miners correctly yet
asciilifeform: ... but also because only hardline chrematists have access to fabs, given the expense of the latter, and for these the ev calc. of 'trad btc miner' (i.e. densely packed, operable only in a dc, etc) vs. anyffin else is a nobrainer
asciilifeform: iirc a m^2 pv at high noon on equator will give ~100W at most.
asciilifeform: and, for passive cooling, you'll need a reasonably low-density die, and likely will get 10x less 'minerism per mm^2 of die' vs. traditional.
asciilifeform: the other thing is, pv prolly aint massively attractive to operators because it has to compete with 'phree' (typically embezzled) mains current.
asciilifeform: hard to beat 'phree'.
thimbronion likely will not be able to comment on the spec update until next week due to travel/consuming last drops of fiat liquishit for a while.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: the changes are (almost) entirely things that we've discusses in log.
asciilifeform: *discussed

asciilifeform: eh next yr will be Officially mandatory to wear feathered cap instead of muzzle, or locket with scrap of parchment with word 'arsenicum' (troo 14th c. antiplague measure!!) -- and they'll wear. means ~nuffin.
bonechewer: On more prosaic matters, now that Sec. 7 of the pest draft spec describes an exception to the rule of marking messages stale based only on timestamp, Sec. 3.1.1 should be updated to explicitly note the exception for GetData responses.
asciilifeform: bonechewer: it should, indeed
asciilifeform: will go in 0xfc.
asciilifeform: also section numbering needs cleanup.
bonechewer: Similar exception for GetData responses should be noted in Sec. 4.2.1 "Common Prologue". Yes I'm being pedantic but for me at least it would help loading spec into head
asciilifeform: bonechewer: absolutely good point, tho
asciilifeform encourages folx to report such sharp edges, no matter how seemingly pedantic
asciilifeform: the specs needs to make sense on 1 pass reading.
asciilifeform: if at all possible.
asciilifeform also encourages folx to vpatch the spec. i'ma read and sign as fast as can. plox dun fughet to update the manifest when doing so.
bonechewer: exactly! There is some discomfort when a certain picture formed in head, then upon reaching the GetData stuff, had to be torn down and modified
asciilifeform: this is not as 'sexy' as baking prototype, but imho would really make the thing converge to 'kelvin 0' over9000x faster
asciilifeform: bonechewer: aha
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in wwwtronics mysteries (maybe billymg can solve?) -- in 'rekeying' section, section title fails to appear when rendered in asciilifeform's www css crapola.

asciilifeform fucking hates cssism
