ben_vulpes: jeebus
BingoBoingo: lol GNOME GuPNP is a thing
ben_vulpes: > elegant, object-oriented open source framework
ben_vulpes: > written in C using GObject and libsoup
ben_vulpes: but what about GnuKitchenSink?!!?1
BingoBoingo: Requires JackBoot firmware to load
ben_vulpes: ZhaneBoot you cishetshitlord
BingoBoingo would settle for WorkBoot

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, phf: i'm giving up on variable length binary-types for now. my personal pons asinorum for this library is the task of defining either a type or a class whose value could be either u8, u16, u32 or u64, plus the headaches of entirely arbitrary-length scripts.
ben_vulpes: worked swimmingly for the headers, though!
BingoBoingo still suggests move to Baudot encoding
mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger , how about a survey of response to intel's magic byte ?
mircea_popescu: you have a reasonably fresh list of respondent boxes, feed them 0x32 at offset 0x47f then poll in 5 and 500 seconds see if they're up.
mircea_popescu: one of those "not going to find anything" things that experience shows would make a fine first article on your putative blog.
Framedragger: oh! "catching up on logs" is an important thing indeed. you mean http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160922/#139 - wowza.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: absolutely - will do! though, those 22mil boxes have ssh running on them; there's prob a semi-quick way to get a broader "is it generally online" list, too. but, gotta start somewhere
Framedragger: i'll prolly do this and make use of vc's cockbox. his /dev/null attitude to abuuuuze complaints is appreciated.
Framedragger: hmm, gotta script this carefully. prolly not gonna be today. but will try and do this.
mircea_popescu: what's the rush you know.
Framedragger: (i mean, polling and re-polling later to check status etc)
Framedragger: probably coffee in my mind
mircea_popescu: by now it's a 5 year old thing, if they were gonna do something about it they've had done by now.
Framedragger: actually, half the time you're probably speaking to an overcaffeinated framedragger
Framedragger: yeah for a sec i thought this was new. but totally should be done
mircea_popescu: the deep point here being that this is a fundamental property of usgian "ghidusii" : the long tail of straggling losers.
Framedragger: would be great to have a nosuchlabs observatory lab, with results exposed over sql or w/e, as discussed
Framedragger: but i guess that's what's effectively happening anyway :)
Framedragger: eventually metasploit the whole damn /0, etc
Framedragger: btw regarding "there is no sane NIC out there" problem and appreciating the fact that designing a whole proper NIC may not be an efficient effort ("ip stack should be eventually abandoned", lots of work, economies of scale at work in semiconductor production, whatnot), i wonder why asciilifeform hasn't considered investing time not in seeking a sane nic, but rather designing / using a sane transport protocol via *radio* (i don't mean shi
Framedragger: tty wifi dongles, but rather long distance shortwaves, etc.)
Framedragger: (i'm sure it's easier told than done)
mircea_popescu: in principle we could have a tmsr radio station. even makes for excellent call sign, TMSR.
mircea_popescu: however, costs money to operate hardware. what's the rush.
Framedragger: it'd be so much fun and would be super educational!
Framedragger: i mean ideally, it'd be a p2p radio station network. antenna + dongle + stuff can be real cheap.
mircea_popescu: was mentioned now and again in logs, yes.
Framedragger: shortwaves bounce around the ionosphere and all that
mircea_popescu: it is on the list, but first gotta have better geographic density of republican lords.
mircea_popescu: not that you can't just go ahead and proof it, if you want to.
Framedragger: that's the thing, i wonder if a few points around the globe wouldn't be enough, in principle!
Framedragger: that's the way it works, i guess. talk is easy
asciilifeform: radio has its place.
asciilifeform: but ~long-range~ radio has very limited place.
mircea_popescu: in short : it wouldn't be wasted work, we'll certainly use it later ; it's not yet scheduled, but the scheduler isn't blocking in this sense.
asciilifeform: a megawatt shortwave station is a castle.
asciilifeform: needs to go with cannon, anti-aircraft battery, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depends how much it costs. in any case, there's a relationship between required-density and square-of-radius.
mircea_popescu: so radius is good.
Framedragger: but all those radio amateurs happily listening to each other's callsigns around the globe - they don't have powerful stations do they?
asciilifeform: Framedragger: they're capons
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not really data links, either
asciilifeform: (i.e. usg-compliant)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not that often.
mircea_popescu: still, a 10kbps link dun help anyone much does it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 0 crypto
mircea_popescu: because lazy and stupid, not because subservient.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: no disagreement, hence the tone (happily masturbating each other, they are). point was, they're able to listen to each other rather easily
mircea_popescu: in any case : 1 mb blocks, 10 minute blocks, you therefore must have no less than
mircea_popescu: !~calc 1 * 2 ** 20 / 10 / 60 * 2
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 1 * 2 ** 20 / 10 / 60 * 2 = 3495.2533333333336
Framedragger: 10kbps, imho, would be *fine* for the beginning. enough for lighthoused PoC if there were to appear one later, enough to sync state, exchange keys, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not at all lazy, here in usa they do ~100% of the spectrum policing
mircea_popescu: 3.5kBps is the absolute minimum. about 30kbps
asciilifeform: transmit something they can't decode, and they carefully guide the gasenwagen right to your house
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ~nobody gives a shit about "there in usa". move.
Framedragger: (i know that ideal lighthoused would have much higher throughput.)
Framedragger: yeah i wouldn't transmit encrypted shortwaves from usa, that indeed sounds like doom
mircea_popescu: Framedragger sure ; even noncompliant channels may have their uses. but still, in general you want to aim for a 30 kbps minimum.
asciilifeform: ahahahaha yaaah i'ma not only move (~$m+) but build megawatt radio on me new magic island ($10m+) suure.
Framedragger: i mean personally, to be able to exchange pgp-signed sha512 hashes would make me super happy already - maybe premature ejaculation, yes, but it'd be a *useful facility*.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this suggests an extremely cheap way to fuck with the empire. produce mini board that outputs salt-hashed counter nonce, rsa and emit it.
mircea_popescu: power the thing off battery, dump a bunch around people's houses.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the board is trivial
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it counts for 0, they only care about international tx
mircea_popescu: let them "guide the gasenwagen" at $100k to $20mn per guidance, untill they fall over.
asciilifeform: as in 100kW+
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no. they don't care ; it's you that have mental issues.
Framedragger: (drone delivery to fbi building, etc)
asciilifeform: what can i say, go and put a 100kW pirate in usa, i'll watch
PeterL: did we already do thread "transmit from drone flying overhead"?
mircea_popescu: by now it should be pretty self-evident, to you too. the moment one of these preconceived things gets out the mouth and then starts shapeshifting for dear life in conversation, you got an example.
mircea_popescu: PeterL yes, comes up reliably.
asciilifeform: PeterL: 100kW drone?
asciilifeform: with what, own reactor?
Framedragger: i still don't understand why the hell you need them 100kW
PeterL: drone carrying nuclear reactor ... pretty cool sci-fi
mircea_popescu: are there any stations even left that do 100kw in soviet us ?
PeterL: why must be 100kW?
Framedragger: you don't need to cover the whole damn globe (ionosphere bounces notwithstanding). it's just a *node*
a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 12:33 Framedragger: tty wifi dongles, but rather long distance shortwaves, etc.)
mircea_popescu: desperately needs it to be 100k because protecting some other unexamined notions this way!
Framedragger: "rather long distance" does not imply 100 kW afaik?
asciilifeform: hey short-range pirates are where it's at, because they make actual sense
asciilifeform: cheap, costs enemy more to kill than for us to make
Framedragger: (consider a true radio relay, by which i mean a relay which sends, receives, and *passes on* messages received from one end to the other)
mircea_popescu: something like that. except for the exact definition of short.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: we had a long thread
mircea_popescu has personally seen 10W station owner with postcards from fucking australia
asciilifeform: i even handed out chip samples at c3 recall
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ionospheric lottery
asciilifeform actually listens to shortwave, it is a very mixed bag
mircea_popescu: yes, but lottery works for you when you got a lot of them.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: and those will of course not have much bandwidth capacity. but i maintain that to usefully PoC the thing, you don't need much at all. jeebus, having a radio-based key server would be amazing already
mircea_popescu: ie, if you have 10k 10w stations rather than 100kw one, you will, if sanely handling errors, get a better channel from cluj to melbourne.
mircea_popescu: and very likely > 30kbps.
Framedragger: for seriously.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on odd full moons.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this whole convo keeps popping up ; nobody's seriously against it.
asciilifeform: and until usg jam.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, because geodispersed. most of the time, sqrt n etc
mircea_popescu: this is not jamable.
Framedragger: *sigh* i'll look up dongle prices :D
asciilifeform: individual stations are -- recall 'voice of america'
mircea_popescu: there are no individual stations.
mircea_popescu: and i do recall it ; which proves that they aren't eh ?
asciilifeform: at any rate, pretty much 100% of asciilifeform's work re gossipd, incl. prior to mircea_popescu's publication, was so that eventually radio.
asciilifeform: it is why i threw out all handshakes and other items that presume synchronous 2way, fast, and roughly symmetric link.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: so that's the thing, maybe prototyping gossipd designs over usual packet-switched internet is not even worth it?
mircea_popescu: ah also : re "encryption" : we CAN use the eliza involved in gossipd spec (anyone actually did this or just some quick napkin work and then forgot about ?) to eliza the actual emissions.
Framedragger: which is, if i may say so, smart indeed
mircea_popescu: markov chains can be used for the purpose of symmetrically "encrypting" ; make every byte a different word, it will be "plaintext"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pass me a turing test and wake me up
mircea_popescu: as a sort of steganography. who the hell is going to prove that radio chatter is "not really what it seems"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it is worth it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: stego is easily a 100x drop in channel capacity.
PeterL: mircea_popescu at one point I demonstrated a script to do that, asciilifeform scoffed at it as useless
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: your posited 30kps turns to 0.3
mircea_popescu: PeterL did i see this ?
asciilifeform: PeterL: if i can tell that stego is in use, it ain't stego, definitionally
mircea_popescu: and the alf "useless" signal can be safely ignored. he's decided to shit in own mouth, what can you do.
asciilifeform: ( unless i'm the intended receiver )
asciilifeform: i never say 'useless' unless i can break something in O(1)
mircea_popescu: you say useless all the time for absolutely no reason ; and had a year's + worth of warning. too late to appeal this.
mircea_popescu: do not say it anymore ; or do. for all the difference it makes, you can pick either.
asciilifeform: you can have it broken prior to investing time of yourself and others in it, or after.
mircea_popescu: i've picked.
asciilifeform: at any rate if mircea_popescu wants to build sw lighthouse on his dirigible, it'd be quite spiffy, not only do i not have any argument against it, but consider it the right and properly inevitable thing.
asciilifeform: but it remains true that 'eliza stego' is dumb, unless you are masquerading among spam
asciilifeform: it's rather like camo on tank, the scenery matters
asciilifeform: would mircea_popescu paint forest camo on his city t34?
asciilifeform: also if yer gonna do this, do it right - massive net of physically dispersed transmitters, instead of multi-kw hogs
asciilifeform: (at one time al schwartz and i modelled a scheme with ordinary champaigne bottles floating in ocean. it can work)
asciilifeform: can last much longer than balloon (the other obvious choice) at the cost of distance covered
asciilifeform: (balloon is bested only by satellite)
Framedragger: i'd risk getting a visit from the spooks here, honestly been interested in viability of low bitrate (plain-encrypted, in my mind) radio exchange for a whole.
Framedragger: while*
asciilifeform: Framedragger: no1 rule of pirate radio is for your arse to be nowhere near the transmitter.
asciilifeform: nor easily linkable with it.
Framedragger: myeah, i know. but i also think it's only a matter of degree of effort: if i'm not important enough in their eyes, i'll be fine. if on the other hand i am, then they'll find a way to link me to station and will pay a visit. a.k.a. binary "are you important?" security model.
asciilifeform: (alternatively for you to be fidel castro and 'go ahead and take my radio motherfuckers', which is what i originally thought this thread was to be about)
Framedragger: may be a tad bit too nihilistic, sure
asciilifeform: Framedragger: pirates who don't use any crypto at all tend to have problems just the same, for 'tresspassing' on whatever sovereign's 'owned' spectrum.
a111: Logged on 2015-12-14 02:37 PeterL: so I was playing with the idea of http://trilema.com/2015/the-pgp-w-mode/
asciilifeform: historically successful ('not caught for years') radio pirates normally used either unattended devices, or fast, mobile stations on boats
Framedragger: http://btcscoop.com/steg/ for sale, great. i love the web
PeterL: oh, yeah, I think it just lapsed
asciilifeform: PeterL: consider reposting
mircea_popescu: that's the problem here - ideas are exciting, but for lack of practice western man has all but lost any knowledge of the actual excitement of actually doing things.
asciilifeform believe or not, experiments
mircea_popescu: the curse of this language space is that pretty much everything degrades by degrees into this wordy masturbation where people get excited over ideas then agree they can't be done then move on to the next.
asciilifeform: i'll share a tidbit - the place to be is the vast expanse of locally-quiet spectrum.
asciilifeform: (and when it stops being quiet, silently and immediately move, with a pre-agreed scheme)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: silently and immediately because folks will notice if not, and you'll become a point of interst?
asciilifeform: so that you aren't stuck having to talk about it over the degrading channel
asciilifeform: and it has to be automatic.
asciilifeform: imagine living in obama's closet when he isn't looking. you can actually do that in radio...
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the sad part is that by "battling out" ideas in this wordspace, one gets a bit of serotonin rush, to feel *as if* they have actually done something material. i know i get this, at least. evolutionary side-effect, this whole "curiosity -> completion" gap used to be much larger, not it short-circuits easily. it sucks, need to make conscious effort to resist sinking into nihilistic bliss, i think. </rant>
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ah, right!
asciilifeform: Framedragger: mircea_popescu has a point, it is a sin
asciilifeform: like gluttony
mircea_popescu: very much a sin ; now go forth and sin no more.
Framedragger: s/not it/now it/
asciilifeform: !#s esp8266
mircea_popescu: the only sane way to look at it is over BingoBoingo 's mayo-enabler pair.
asciilifeform: Framedragger ^ possibly of interest
mircea_popescu: the fundamental point of reddit & co, and the main reason to avoid them, is that they format people into this specific mode,
mircea_popescu: where they take turns to play the obese and the enabler for each other.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik the concept was first described by dan mocsny
mircea_popescu: it's very much a destructive psychiatric condition ; harmful for self, harmful for others. smoke and don't do this, rather than don't smoke and do it.
mircea_popescu: quite possibly.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP8266 - nifty! but this is wifi, i.e. ghz ranges no?
asciilifeform: Framedragger: quite respectable city ranges, 300+ metres
Framedragger: niice.
mircea_popescu: ballas' celebrated "so you feel strongly about something, strong enough to not do anything" is just as much a statement. there's no lack of observation, it's just that piggy likes his truffle.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: the mega-feature was the all-in-one micro (just needs current source, a few milliamp) and unspeakable cheapness
asciilifeform: (chinese)
Framedragger: mmm. i2c interface, etc. yeah. this is a very neat useful thing.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: notice, you don't even need the external i/o pins
asciilifeform: thing is a respectable micro comp on its own
Framedragger: may as well put a power source on it, even a solar cell, and leave in coffee shop for anon wifi, heh.
asciilifeform: can relay, even perform basic crypto, in principle
Framedragger: right, right. hm that's pretty great
asciilifeform: i have a crate of'em, waiting
asciilifeform: Framedragger: at one time i suggested thermovoltaic device to mircea_popescu , he wrote entire article
asciilifeform: !#s parasitic relay
asciilifeform: anyway sloth is a sin, motherfuckers. the 2 (3?) dudes i gave esp8266 boards to at c3, have they powered'em up?
asciilifeform: it just wants 3v.
asciilifeform: program with, e.g., 'buspirate'
Framedragger: need to minimize energy expenditure at $job. "go home tired" sort of case, it's sad. i'd like to, e.g., among other matters (incl mkj log etc of course), write a very initial very to-be-criticized gossipd for udp/ip, using (kill me now) python twisted. i guess many live like this, savouring free time, with personal projects falling behind. [i rant today, because exhaustion + coffee infusion => wee bit psychedelic]
a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 12:28 mircea_popescu: by now it's a 5 year old thing, if they were gonna do something about it they've had done by now.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: at this point i think everyone here has an unpublished prototype.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 12:20 mircea_popescu: you have a reasonably fresh list of respondent boxes, feed them 0x32 at offset 0x47f then poll in 5 and 500 seconds see if they're up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another experiment, in similar vein, is fuzzing (yes) nics right on a desk
asciilifeform: feed the thing validly checksummed but otherwise from rng packets, at line rate
asciilifeform: eventually might strike gold.
mircea_popescu: word ; i was thinking of proposing exactly this but then i got distracted.
mircea_popescu: the companion to Framedragger 's exploration to be done at home is evidently - there's only 3 chips, right ? get a realtek, an intel and a broad and fuzz them
thestringpuller: "The main cost in the initial synchronization is disk I/O when seeking for transactions in the blockchain. Default cache size (dbcache) is 100MB, and it is too low. I always set it manually depending on the amount of RAM in the system (5GB for dbcache on a 8GB system)." << re: discussions of using SSDs on initial sync.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's ~dozen subspecies of each, but yes
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller ideally you want to do it all in ram and dump to disk 2gb at a time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tru, but dollars to donuts they didn't change the magic for each chip.
asciilifeform: the intel find (and if you buy the 'bug' excuse, i've a bridge to sellya) was a clue that the bastards never bothered with serious crypto magic for the boobytrap
mircea_popescu: either because lazydumb or because afraid someone might microscope/probe the things and find it.
asciilifeform: the OTHER thing to do, on top of these earlier 2, is to collect martian packets.
asciilifeform: if it lands in your house and your machinery has nfi what it was for - save it...
mircea_popescu: somewhat less conclusive, but more expensive. still, it may turn out very interesting
asciilifeform: it is the least 'sexy' method but betcha it is where the corpse is buried.
asciilifeform: and you'll find 10,001 species of strange.
asciilifeform: !!up andr1976
deedbot: andr1976 voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: microscope is of course the 4th method. ought to be included for completeness .
asciilifeform: and if anyone knows of a 5th, i'm all ears.
asciilifeform: (perhaps 5th is to steal the crown jewels from the culprit himself)
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q3/592 << picture if you went into a restaurant and waiter tells you that the chair-dildo system is broken
Framedragger: lol. bug in uefi, me heart is truly broken
PeterL: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/jfzos/?raw=true << saving for posterity. I archived back about a year, if anybody wants to archive farther back than that they can use this.
asciilifeform: PeterL: neato
asciilifeform: sooooooo mircea_popescu , Framedragger , et al, while we're on 'pirate radio' thread, i'd like to put a few useful items in the record:
asciilifeform: 1) every old lappy comes with a high-quality DAC fit for shortwave! the vga card.
asciilifeform: it just needs an amp.
asciilifeform: (and antenna)
shinohai: YAgi's are cheap and easy to make would that work ?
asciilifeform: shinohai: the amp is the tricky bit. and the dirigible.
shinohai: yeah :/
asciilifeform: 2) consider a device of the following scheme. receives luby-coded packets via radio; if packet checksums AND has one of N lordly signatures, it is relayed (transmitted to neighbouring nodes.) otherwise, not.
asciilifeform: this can vary significantly, it is not necessary for ALL nodes globally to use same freq., only for neighbours to somehow agree;
asciilifeform: and likewise the power of the station can vary depending on who the operator is ( if mircea_popescu , megawatt, if asciilifeform living in amphora on the streets of athens, a watt, etc)
asciilifeform: every key gets a timeslot, such that one defeated lord does not result in a perma-ddosed net.
Framedragger: nice reference to diogenes asciilifeform
Framedragger: nice. what of DoS via replay, asciilifeform ? or should this get ignored? i.e. enemy just floods with identical packets (so both checksum and sig ok), and those get redistributed
asciilifeform: this is not, note, a 'gossipd' net per se, but potentially component in one.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: see my lighthouse scheme for the pill against replay ddos.
Framedragger: indeed, indeed. and yet incorporating a lighthouse lifts the scheme from pure elegance to additional complexity. but maybe that's not to be avoided, and such is life
asciilifeform: Framedragger: aaaaaaaactually there is a very elegant solution to replay when you have radio net like this
asciilifeform: you have a nonce in the packet, and the packet only registers as valid when said nonce is equal to hash of some packet that is in the receiver's current buffer.
asciilifeform: this'd have a cost, however, of limiting the number of 'hops' that the thing can propagate along.
asciilifeform: (if what i said does not make sense, draw it on napkin)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: buffer is a rolling window (or how do you call it), i.e. last N messages? hmm
asciilifeform: correct.
asciilifeform: gives 'expiration' without invoking notions of political time etc.
Framedragger: hm sounds nice
asciilifeform: so you don't actually need any elaborate moving parts, lighthouses, etc
asciilifeform: just scheme as-described.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i wonder, could this not be predicted by the enemy? (value of nonce - say the enemy is aware of the (likely) packets received by the receiving end.) i'm not sure, just trying out all possibilities in the head, because otherwise sounds nice
asciilifeform: Framedragger: enemy can predict all he likes, but unless he has your private key it does him no good
asciilifeform: he cannot sign the payload-cum-nonce.
asciilifeform: the only thing he can replay is a VALID packet, while it is valid! which helps you.
shinohai: !!up burnsd03
deedbot: burnsd03 voiced for 30 minutes.
shinohai: burnsd03: this is the chan where you register your key
burnsd03: thanks
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ah, right, i forgot everything's signed, lol. nice! i guess enemy could replay for a (choosably) small window of time, some degree of flooding possible? but this could be minimized and that's the point, right?
asciilifeform: Framedragger: again, what'll he flood with ?
Framedragger: same exact packet - he would assume the nonce in packet refers to a packet that is still in the receiver's buffer
Framedragger: maybe i'm not getting the picture how quickly entries in the buffer can expire, though
asciilifeform: the one thing he could do is to stretch out a packet's life, by setting up own relay net
asciilifeform: one obvious pill against this is to flush buffers periodically.
asciilifeform: (atmospheric noise is likely to result in this naturally, but can be made explicit.)
asciilifeform: anyway the obvious hole in my scheme is the base case of the induction
asciilifeform: i.e. how to transmit the first packet.

Framedragger: PeterL: ah, good point. and regarding first packet, i wonder if some very light lighthouse version would make sense, a pre-shared sequence of whitelisted nonces between two given nodes, whatnot. in the beginning, interchangeable over internet. and later, updateable over same radio channel ("here's my payload, and also please add to your whitenoncelist this encrypted sequence of nonces for future channel initiations.")
asciilifeform: Framedragger: you can't have a network of cheapo relays with seekrits in'em

Framedragger: which yeah makes sense
asciilifeform: Framedragger: private key is in the thing lords use to inject packets into the relay net.
asciilifeform: remember that the hypothetical scheme is not gossipd.
asciilifeform: the 'signed-packet-relay' concept's entire appeal is that it is more or less jam-proof, and the nodes - disposable
Framedragger: right.
asciilifeform: as for what its use is - could be, e.g., gossip lighthouse, or btc tx relay, or something else. uses are to be conceived of later.
PeterL: could relay messages from one gossipd node to another
