mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure, just gotta start peeling at a corner.
mircea_popescu: yet another avenue to bleed the state and it's supporters (fucktarded parents with utility bills).
mircea_popescu: his government pays an extra 40 bux a month ; his parents pay an extra 30 bux a month (not counting amortisation for hardware) and he gets 15 dollars a month out of maybe 25 to 50 dollars' worth of monthly utility delivered to the world.
mircea_popescu: but in general, i fully expect this to work in the sense that random kid makes money to play everquest or w/e the fuck he plays through the avenue of renting the box.
mircea_popescu: such as, sell them out for number crunching ; but not for pinging. or w/e.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. anyway, if your windows boxes are owned through the tenuous interface of whatever random chump-trojan, perhaps not allow a number of operations you feel you're vulnerable to.
mircea_popescu: i know it's not an ~insurmountable~ problem, in the context and per the definitions relevant.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have a solution ; because this is a design not an implementation.
mircea_popescu: wtf is so hard about this. so random twerp likes to have b and pretend it's a. good for him, random twerps like to lie in their accounting ever since they were invented. this is what "bitcoin investments" on the forum were all about throughout. so ?
mircea_popescu: a) if your control on the box is strong, then your control on the box is strong. this means you fix the problem ; b) if your control on the box is weak, this means your control on the box is weak. this means you understand you can lose it.
mircea_popescu: phf we're playing this alf invented game where he picks an item and ignores all the rest.
mircea_popescu: this is a wotless joke. you don't even know 1k people.
mircea_popescu: "list of trusted peers for accepting orders and verifying Bitcoin payments ; administrative policies as appropriate." this has a meaning.
mircea_popescu: client that hoses boxes i suppose doesn't get to rent more, what.
mircea_popescu: this is the borg. cube lands and starts sucking the earth from under their feet. no shits given, at all, much like i don't look for anthill oppinions before during or after real estate development.
mircea_popescu: but you discuss it as if i'd give a half of a flying fuck.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform once evolutionary pressure is on, you might even get that something.
mircea_popescu: it's plenty sexy. it resolves a number of notable problems, correctly - which is to say without support for usg.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as something is computable ; defection is attributable.
mircea_popescu: trust. it builds. all that's needed is a marketplace to build it.
mircea_popescu: still ; you have a botnet you're worried about, can parcel it out, rent 10 chunks of 1k machines to 10 people, see who runs with it etc.
mircea_popescu: you're welcome to believe that, if you wish. but this place is constructed on that being stupid.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "little different" is essentially saying "the wot is a nice toy but it'll never scale".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fact remains you can not, at this present time, distinguish your own node on random box from faux node planted there.
mircea_popescu: a "reasonable competent" whatever could... what, bother deedbot. hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: give it some time, it'll work fine. if aws works, if folding@home works, if torrents work this'll work superbly.
mircea_popescu: other than the numerous deliberate sabotages, tor fails in a game theoretic manner - no incentive to participate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually this should work as a proper tor relay for gossipd.
mircea_popescu: "apparently an intern installed uci. it's the third time this week."
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is good, but ~not enough. it's not enough for enemy to be unable to retain the salaried interest of dea thugs.
mircea_popescu: ALL computers. ie, the computer attached to the 3d printer as much as to the atm at the bank as much as anything else.
mircea_popescu: never mind the chicken perspective. this commoditizes computers.
mircea_popescu: because unreliable is much much better than "reliable"
mircea_popescu: mod6 anyway, go ahead an' write it up, i already did a qntra today
mircea_popescu: if nothing else, it'll put an actual market rate on running bitcoin nodes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: map the entire dns system, eavesdrop the entire internet, create your own dns, launch satellites and nukes (hey, who's to say what peripherals a given machine has, amirite ?), whatever.
mircea_popescu: do anything you damn well please - from hosting your (uninterdictable) website on half a million random machines to nuking whitehouse.org
☟︎ mircea_popescu: does this make sense to anyone outside of yours truly ? asciilifeform ? davout ? jurov ? phf ? trinque ?
