mircea_popescu: without human mediation, this is more of the "smart contracts" coolaid.
mircea_popescu: people have a way of coming to odds with their intentions
mircea_popescu: intentions need not be nor can they be part of signed matter.
mircea_popescu: there are some things that don't need fixing. what needs fixing re gpg is to use rsa throughout, rather than the current lulzatron.
mircea_popescu: "oh, i encrypted this TWICE, it's much harder now!"
mircea_popescu: which in turn reduces to cargo-cultish supersecurity.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field makes keys too big, doesn't actually offer anything other than the equivalent "at key promulgation, use it to sing a list of nonces, with understanding that statements w/io the nonce are void", let wot enforce this.
mircea_popescu: jurov absolutely.
mircea_popescu: historical accident.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132130 << the "key deadness" as somehow a part of the key itself, is not only conceptually ridiculous but practically unimplementable. forget it, it's about as relevant to gpg as "the gnu foundation" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132108 << because it doesn't update keys. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: keys never expire. the meaning you give them may expire, and that's entirely your own personal problem. but otherwise, once found, the integers are there and can be multiplied.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132096 << nah ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i recall we discussed this and it closed.
mircea_popescu: owner 2 can always repudiate future signatures on the grounds that "it wasn't really me"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132093 << not the real problem. what if owner 1 then comes back, covertly. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hahaha
mircea_popescu: !up joshc
mircea_popescu: til mpex has withdrawals too
mircea_popescu: eh ?

mircea_popescu: division of labour!
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't propose how. i propose what.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field well, tachyons for all i care.
mircea_popescu: jurov ayup.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you have a discrete cristalline lattice of U, selected nodes get energized to the point they split, creating Xe
mircea_popescu: actually - lasered into a chunk of uranium, so that selected atoms turn into gas.
mircea_popescu: ah lasered

mircea_popescu: etc etc, 2012 all over again in a new tardstalk.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that's how the new garrs and nefarios and gigavps and etc run the same old scam. "it COULD be 11btc each. YOU HAVE NO PROOF IT ISNT"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132066 << it was addressed. derps aren't here. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: spent millenia not even knowing there was a global namespace, perfectly happy.
mircea_popescu: (this is exactly how nature does it - as far as it's concerned the namespace is the genotype, as far as you're concerned you just use a nick for the fenotype)
mircea_popescu: or in other words, the solution to zooko's triangle is to use the local-global axe on the fucking knot. unique and secure names globally ; memorable locally.
mircea_popescu: aka decentralized namespace.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132034 << the spec is that you can allocate whatever nicks you wish, LOCALLY. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suspect it defined "africa" for half a century.
mircea_popescu: (biafra was a part of nigeria during civil war. famine and nutty shit)
mircea_popescu: a mixture of glee and excitement at the outlandishness of it.
mircea_popescu: honestly i watch the news from anglosphere today like i watched the news from biafra twenty years ago, as a child.
mircea_popescu: lulzy to me.
mircea_popescu: sounds legit
mircea_popescu: Bahar Mustafa, the welfare and diversity officer at Goldsmiths Students' Union, told students that the union meeting was only open to "BME Women" - females of black and ethnic minorities."
mircea_popescu: "A students' union officer who is employed to promote diversity at a London university has reportedly asked white people and men not to attend an anti-racism protest meeting.

mircea_popescu: i doubt there's actually that much of an edge to be had, unless one goes all the way to mold it into nginx
mircea_popescu: which is probably the cutting-edgest application php ever knew.
mircea_popescu: and it all runs in php!
mircea_popescu: they i think all descend from the same thing (aka, futaba) reimplemented x times
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a lightweight structure, specific cli style commands and a requirement to start threads by embedding a picture. they're purely cosmetic, it's just a sort of forum ubuntu, if you take vbulletin to be windows.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in this context, a chan is a type of forum, used most famously by 2/4chan
mircea_popescu: but this at start was a futaba or what ?
mircea_popescu: a, you did a bunch of work there ?
