asciilifeform: btw if replacement includes deedbot, it cannot be publicly operable or gets ddosed and depleted.
asciilifeform: (picture a public www that spends coin when you load it!)
mircea_popescu: how would replacement "include deedbot" ?
asciilifeform: this hypothetical replacement may be one of those thngs, like the tmsr warez server, that must live behind 'g' or the like.
mircea_popescu: but what do you mean ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: somebody suggested earlier that it ought to deedbot cached pages
mircea_popescu: but mebbe you overlooked the part where to initiate a caching, one has to either be in the L or pay.
asciilifeform: but ~how~ this works?
mircea_popescu: by having [hopefully as an extension of assbot] a payment interface in chan.
mircea_popescu: then whoever wants to be paid goes !bill asciilifeform 10.56546 "had a nice time last night honey"
asciilifeform: neato, ought to work at least until the fleanodeocalypse.
mircea_popescu: and whoever wants to pay goes !pay mircea_popescu bill or !pay mircea_popescu 7.5555 "not bad but not really worth 10fiddy, ho!"
mircea_popescu: and of course !bills returns you a list of stored bills.

mircea_popescu: and more details, but anyways.
asciilifeform: i would also suggest that L folks be able to download compressed shitball of backup.
mircea_popescu: keyed to their key.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of "problems" are really non-problems once tmsr principles are applied.
mircea_popescu: to think imbecile anglos spent 50 years in "computing" huddling walls and trying to be all flower-power.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin should have been implemented as a solution to pdp timesharing problems.
asciilifeform: perhaps unrelatedly, yesterday i saw such egregious notational abuse (at big maths conference) that i felt my mircea_popescu fangs emerging, and wolf ears
asciilifeform: suddenly it all made sense
mircea_popescu: i'm like lead. every fancy radioactive compound eventually decays into me.
asciilifeform: i dreamed of confining the perpetrators somehow and depriving'em of all squigglies and arrows
asciilifeform: they really did use notation to mask the often nonexisting point of the message.
mircea_popescu: allthetime.gif
asciilifeform: but to me this is an argument for taking tools away from derps
asciilifeform: rather than sending ~all~ to the stone age.
asciilifeform: hence why i bring it up now.
mircea_popescu: first off - separate what is tool and what is caduceus.
mircea_popescu: THEN, take tools away from derps and caducei away from everyone.
mircea_popescu: and absent a better idea, my concept that you can't possibily have more than 255-27-10 actual tools seems quite meritous.
mircea_popescu: just how fucking many tools are there.
asciilifeform: again, where do i find matrix bracket in the 255
mircea_popescu: map it whatever way you will.
mircea_popescu: all i care about is that there's a specified maximum DEFINITIVE count of symbols,
asciilifeform: or subscript/superscript
mircea_popescu: i'd prefer it be a word, but can live with dword. i CAN NOT live with "extensible symbol space".
mircea_popescu: and i don't think you're that smart, either.
asciilifeform: the problem with the derps is NOT that they make up new symbols.
mircea_popescu: yesitis.
asciilifeform: well sometimes
mircea_popescu: this is the DEFINITION of derpage. to quote from relevant article :
asciilifeform: but i saw none that day
asciilifeform: most are too lazy
assbot: Hai sa studiem gramatica impreuna on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LFP3t1 )

mircea_popescu: original topic is romanian "grammar scholars" who aren't fit to shine boots, and completely ignore anything whatsoever in the discipline in favour of doing some inanity.
asciilifeform: incidentally the 'pomos' manage this with strictly latin alphabet !
mircea_popescu: but the point stands : derpage is when you come up with new symbols or "new" readings (ie, wrong readings) of pre-existing symbols.
mircea_popescu: that is what it is.
mircea_popescu: and fucking note that medicine used WORDS to denote its array of datapoints. not fucking hieroglyphics.
asciilifeform: they mostly do the latter.
asciilifeform: new readings.
mircea_popescu: necessarily, it's cheaper.
mircea_popescu: but you're right, pomos do use the medical style (in no small part due to the original idiots', lacan et all, vague fascination with that particular citadel forbidden to them by their own ineptitude -
asciilifeform: but my point is, they don't necessarily need to take a shit on graphical symbols, when they lack these, they shit on words.
asciilifeform: it is the shit-spreaders that is the problem. not he victim symbols.
mircea_popescu: their equivalents in a previous century were using the "magic stones" to read "reformed egyptian". and there is EXACTLY no difference between john smith the mormon and lacan the postmodernist. they're EXACTLY the same "ideal american"
asciilifeform: lulzily very few were americans
mircea_popescu: nevertheless. i need unextensible symbol set for very good reason : you can't have static compilation without it.
mircea_popescu: you understand ? all european literacy is based on the concept of fixed forever symbols, so printing press may exist.
asciilifeform: mostly foreign folk faithfully emulating american custom
asciilifeform: like preet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, THEY were the americans. everyone else's just scum the wind blew in./
mircea_popescu: america is a country of john smith and carnegey and marx and lacan.
mircea_popescu: preet is the american, obama is the american. not fucking kerry.
mircea_popescu: kerry is just some derp lost in there.
mircea_popescu: yeah, marx.
asciilifeform: how does this work
mircea_popescu: just like lenin is the definitive soviet tho he didn't actually live there significantly, marx is the definitive american, tho he didn't even speak the "official" language. he spoke german, the unofficial one.
asciilifeform: sorta like wagner is ~the~ nazi composer
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> how does this work << because what is your definition of nationality ? byron is french, definitely.
asciilifeform: what am i then, l0l
mircea_popescu: you're not dead yet,

asciilifeform: i can see it.
mircea_popescu: before that, you're just aspiring. what nationality you're aspiring to be entirely your problem,
mircea_popescu: but the people dead on the battlements are dead for the dead, not dead for the living.
mircea_popescu: who the everfuck cares abvout the fucking living.
mircea_popescu: you can make more of those RIGHT NOW

asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu is right, and this is a disease suffered by nearly all orcs.
mircea_popescu: it really is, and throughout its ~4 century history started sometime during attempts to liquidate the strong feudalism leftover in sicily and other march lands, always was an "alt-path to bourgeoisie"

mircea_popescu: point being, this is the only relation people are usually unaware of.
asciilifeform: (originally 2 ~sucking~ same woman.)
mircea_popescu: so lots of party jokes, "hey man, spot your milk brothers ?"
asciilifeform: not the only relation. i once knew two dudes who discovered that they were sharing a toothbrush for most of a year.
asciilifeform: (they lived in a uni dorm)
mircea_popescu: so there is no "the network". just people you don't know your friends are fucking.
asciilifeform: but it is a mass in the sense of outer space.
mircea_popescu: only afayk
asciilifeform: and in the sense that it largely consists of prb users.
asciilifeform: (as far as i can tell)
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "all americans are poor, everyone i see in grand central station is wearing shitty cloth shoes and a cheap tshirt"
asciilifeform: it is not especially hard to obtain evidence that other kinds exist

asciilifeform: this does not prove absence, no
mircea_popescu: no, actually you know for a fact 95% of miners were not running prb back last year, because of the fork thing.
asciilifeform: they were not running ~latest prb~ aha
mircea_popescu: wilful ignoring evidence is problematic you know.
asciilifeform: for all i know they were running prb with ~one line~ patched.
mircea_popescu: for all you know engineering assumptions aren't to be made this way.
asciilifeform: all i can say is that i have nfi. but i have no evidence that anyone other than mircea_popescu and trb folks did any serious re-engineering re: the client.
asciilifeform: (diddling a version number is not reengineering, nor the der encoding thing)
mircea_popescu: perhaps. but this really wasn't the thesis. you do know that ~nobody is running prb, and this has been in ample evidence historically throughout.
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, they are running very lightly-modified old prb.
mircea_popescu: if you're particularly inclined to act as a propaganda agent for prb, you may make that wholly unsubstantiated, ridiculous claim.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's your priviledge to do so.
asciilifeform: (am i terminologically addled, or do i misunderstand what is prb)
mircea_popescu: hey, we also "cant prove" putin fucks obama in the ass.
asciilifeform: is 0.5.3 prb ?
asciilifeform: when does prb begin ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno that the question was ever settled, or seriously considered. but it'd be expected prb begins with the famous "you are like power rtangers" nonsense, during the original hearn-induced fork.
asciilifeform: then i take it back, and mircea_popescu has it
asciilifeform: no miner, afaik, used prb.
asciilifeform: (i've been using the term to refer to all heathen bitcoin clients, at least those descended from s's original)
mircea_popescu: kinda what i've been saying. it makes little sense to call say, original bitcoin as per satoshi release prb.
mircea_popescu: also makes little sense to use the term re bitcoinj, whatever its shortcomings.
asciilifeform: items such as keeping bastard blocks/tx around don't count as 'rangery' ?
mircea_popescu: well no, not all error/failure/stupidity is THIS PARTICULAR one.
asciilifeform: not automatically, aha
asciilifeform: but it always seemed to me like many of the prb idiocies really ~were~ in keeping with satoshi's idiocy.
asciilifeform: the continuing support for winblows, for example.

mircea_popescu: or what, 2 degrees of separation ? 4 ?
phf: all those ips that are not l1 or l2
mircea_popescu: why is this partition meaningful ?
phf: l1 or l2 runs trb, where behavior can be improved. better sync mechanisms, bandwidth/cpu conservative network activity, etc. anyone in the wot can also be punished for abuse, i.e. if asciilifeform starts sending me gigs of bogus transactions, and it's not a test and he can't be reasoned with, etc.

mircea_popescu: ie, you become an unpriviledged creditor of theirs, and that's that. if they go bankrupt in a decade, you lose the house.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, happens here. ALL THE TIME.
phf: a gossip solution is to hermetically seal the network, but some nodes presumably still need to talk to elsewhere, i.e. not l1 or l2, those are the ones that still have to deal with spam transactions
mircea_popescu: phf the separation between "trb nodes" and "the rest of the network" comes of the same sort of usg-enabling fiction where somehow obama owns the land and i live on it by his permision.
mircea_popescu: i will not empower this. NOBODY, including his top general and his own daughter, is his. i own, unknown, perhaps, and or all of these.
mircea_popescu: for all you know, i peer with a "network at large" node, making it thus trb-node-one-removed.
mircea_popescu: this cloud will never be clarified, or separated. the space where usg can reliably live (or, for that matter, chinag, russiag, dpkg, anyone-g) is, more or less, zero.
mircea_popescu: and gossipd is specifically not a solution to hermetically seal the network.
mircea_popescu: it is a solution to make that epsilon unknowable to any degree of certainty, by anyone.
mircea_popescu: on which topic, the earlier discussion with asciilifeform re miners is quite apropos.
mircea_popescu: and this is not merely a discussion of nodes in terms of internet ips. this is a discussion of everything. usg can not currently know which of its agents is closer to me than to washington. closer to their wife than to washington. closer to their purse, a la force, than to washington.
mircea_popescu: this situation will never reduce, but only amplify, for it spells victory.
phf: well a gossip connection is already a secret handshake, even if it's not wot rated, a concept of trust can be applied to it, even if negatively. it's a backchannel for b-a node communication
mircea_popescu: but once this is done, the "network outside of gossipd" becomes a mere fiction.
mircea_popescu: you can't say this is the case for any one node in particular.
phf: will b-a node, once gossip enabled make connections that are not routed over gossip?
mircea_popescu: why not ?
mircea_popescu: bridged, or even unbridged.
mircea_popescu: the whole point of gossipd, as i was trying to explain it to that torhead dude, is that you can't know.
phf: oh the outside packets are traveling over gossip too, by means of gossip relays
phf hits self on head
mircea_popescu: and as a more general point : we aren't sealing ourselves off in an ideal world (see the "island of Bitcoin" / "let's get a geographical unit started" threads throughout log history). we are simply constructing indefeatable corruption.

mircea_popescu: in the legal sense.
asciilifeform: the mineral rights are with the city, or the original developer of the street, who won't part with them even for maxint.
asciilifeform: similarly to how the allodial title is with usg, who won't let it go.
asciilifeform: we have many fictions like this in usa.
asciilifeform: for instance, for many years, possession of marijuana etc. was a ... tax offense.
asciilifeform: usg theoretically demanded a tax stamp.

mircea_popescu: the idea being that i announced a contest, haven't seen much in the way of submissions, ima award the 10 btc prize to alf for an implementation of a c-s derivative.
mircea_popescu: the idea is to not do this too rushedly, but also to not delay pointlessly.
mod6: Right.
mod6: I'm kinda torn, I want us to move forward with 'g', so Cramer-Shoup fits the bill for sure. On the other hand, I'd like to think that over a long interval we might see some interesting submissions eventually.

mircea_popescu: once that went away, "city" took over heat generation. except it's impossible to run a thing made to WASTE HEAT efficiently
mircea_popescu: so people weren't too keen to pay the city when there were cheap gas based wall units they could install instead.
mircea_popescu: these wars raged for decade+
