bounce: that refers
to
the same guy as
the brianhoffman popped by here earlier?
mircea_popescu: was drinking a bottle of Jack Daniel's every night before I went onstage and another bottle while I was playing.
That starts catching up with you real quick, and I started going blind in my right eye. So after a nice scare at
the doctor's office about four years ago, I stopped."
mircea_popescu: Benton: "Yeah,
they're real nice guys. We're in
the process of suing
them right now — for slander and everything else, dude.
They're going around
telling people I'm addicted
to methamphetamine. You know what? Who hasn't experimented with a few
things in
their life? Big deal. So what if I experimented?
They did,
too! But, look, I don't even drink anymore, man. I mean, I'll have a Heineken every once in a while, but I
mircea_popescu: Benton: "It's been
the fucking greatest
thing in
the world.
Those
two are a couple of idiots, man. I hate Eric and Brian Hoffman more
than anything in
this world, and I will not rest until I put shit straight with
the fans. Up 'til now, everybody
thinks I kicked
them out of
the band, but nobody kicked anybody out.
They quit on
their own, and I wanna set
the record straight in regard
to
those
two fuckin' pricks."
mircea_popescu: Decibel: Has it been weird writing songs without
the Hoffman brothers [Eric and Brian, former DEICIDE guitarists]?

Than Anything In

thestringpuller: we should just refer
to maxcoin as jefferycoin for now on.
pete_dushenski: xanthyos: russell brand's going
to have
to stroke some furry walls hard enough
to
tear
the shag out if he keeps attaching his name
to max keiser's cryptocoin << on fire,
this guy.
mircea_popescu: what if
they're live baby rats for a certain brunette chick?
bounce: cut all
the papers in
two, send one box by ups and
the other by fedex
mircea_popescu: how is he supposed
to deliver
this without getting caught ?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the major stiucking point here being, so you have your openbazaar, and anonderp is selling a box of secret documents or w/e.
thestringpuller: i
think
there is a way
to sucesfully use nlocktime without having
to worry about doublespend
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman: i know
that Dionysis feels
the same way so please don’t be
turned off by anything we
throw out
there as we’re not
trying
to stomp out others who are smarter on
this stuff <<< well
the s/use/leverage/g
thing you got going is a bit weird.
mircea_popescu: punkman :we don't have
timelocks yet <<
timecocks would be pretty cool
too.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: links are fine as long as
they aren't videos without
tits << hm,
thinking about it,
that's exacly
the rule, isn't it ? observant daniel.
mircea_popescu: which is why
the multicentral approach seems
to me better.
mircea_popescu: punkman: danielpbarron: we could have 10 gribbles and you could check
that counterparty is authed against X of
those << i recall discussions about wot bridges in here
too. none of it is insurmontable, except, making a p2p wot.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman: well we are exploring
this potentially. admittedly it is a much loftier goal
than expected at first. << myeah.
oda_krell: I suppose
the 10min
temp voice is one's chance
to really shine in here, huh? Song and dance routine maybe? Anyway, don't have anything
to really say right now, but I like
to lurk from
time
to
time.
dignork: well,
there would be fees for escrow services
mircea_popescu: "He forks
therefore he leads" lol. what do you do bri o wow he left huh
mircea_popescu: "OpenBazaar is an open source project
to create a decentralized network for commerce online—using Bitcoin—that has no fees and cannot be censored."

brianhoffman: now
that’s no fun, just giving up
the ghost :P
punkman: brianhoffman:
the gist is: just use GPG identities and let silk road be silk road
brianhoffman: hey i hate
to run but i have
to. I heard from @dionyziz and he said he will be able
to drop in a little later. I will DM you on
Twitter @danielpbarron when he’s available and
then just drop in say hey

pete_dushenski: "The new [French cybersecurity] rules include fines of as much as 750,000 euros for companies
that fail government security audits, and demand
that French businesses reconsider
their
technology choices
to focus on certified -- mostly ‘‘made in France” -- products."
brianhoffman: i’m interested
to hear your justification
though
brianhoffman: ok so
the folks from freenet argued
that as well
danielpbarron: i like gribble
the way it is so far, but I
think I saw discussion in here some
time ago about making it decentralized;
that's why I figured you might have something interesting
to say
punkman: "In OpenBazaar,
the participants are inherently pseudonymous. In
this setting, we wish
to maintain an identity for each node.
This identity is strictly distinct from
the operator's real-world identity."
brianhoffman: that’s why i’ve come
to your IRC instead of just insulting @danielbarron more
brianhoffman: feel free
to destroy anything we publish so we can evolve
brianhoffman: i know
that Dionysis feels
the same way so please don’t be
turned off by anything we
throw out
there as we’re not
trying
to stomp out others who are smarter on
this stuff
brianhoffman: our project has great breadth and we’re certainly not interested in stepping on
toes or making grandiose claims about any one area
brianhoffman: at
the moment
the entire project is under code review
brianhoffman: we will be leveraging op_return in
the next release hopefully
brianhoffman: proof of burn is fine. at
the moment we’re doing it wrong and spamming
the UTXO
danielpbarron: i like proof of burn --
that's why XCP is still a
thing, and mastercoin isn't
brianhoffman: but
this is all not slated for
the next week’s release here
brianhoffman: which is why at
the moment we’re leveraging proof of burn
punkman: we don't have
timelocks yet
punkman: "Global
trust is
trust
towards a particular individual which is seen as
the same from all members of
the network. Projected
trust is established
through a pseudonymous partial knowledge web-of-trust, while global
trust is established
through proof-of-burn and proof-of-timelock mechanisms."
brianhoffman: ok well so what is your main interest here? just
that we are
trying
to reinvent
the wheel?
danielpbarron: links are fine as long as
they aren't videos without
tits
brianhoffman: sorry for links if you all are against
that crap in here but i figured it’s easiest
to just link you over
punkman: danielpbarron: we could have 10 gribbles and you could check
that counterparty is authed against X of
those
danielpbarron: i figured as much, or else it would already be a
think in here
brianhoffman: have you read
the paper dionysis put out about
this so far?
brianhoffman: this is all very notional at
the moment
though.
brianhoffman: well we are exploring
this potentially. admittedly it is a much loftier goal
than expected at first.
danielpbarron: and can
the idea be applied instead
to
this gribble WoT
danielpbarron: what is
this I've heard about a decentralized reputation system?
danielpbarron: which shouldn't be hard
to do for a couple of devs
danielpbarron: you'll want
to get in
the WoT if you want
to be
taken seriously
