mircea_popescu: you won't be able to make browser
gossipd that'd for damned sure.
mircea_popescu: i am simply not interested in that sort of centralisation. i also think it's stupid, and self-defeating, and in no way different from you know, making
gossipd on windows vista.
mircea_popescu: introducing the
gossipd style of comms changes nothing at all, merely makes this divide palpable, like that famous japanese butcher's following of the lines already there.
mircea_popescu: bitstein inasmuch as you want a central repository, you're stuck with a central repository. if you look into the design papers / discussions around
gossipd, this is also a well solved problem, just,
mircea_popescu: incidentally, "bbs where every user runs his own nntp server" is a) a better implementation of irc, which is a better implementation of bbs, which is dead tech and b) exactly where
gossipd is going.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: Current
gossipd status: Education still in progress. Code to the point of loading keys and accepting connections. << sounds pretty good.
mircea_popescu: irc should probably stay because a) it doesn't actualy do anything atm and b) it will be an easy upgrade to
gossipd mircea_popescu: "all internet security is a slow, half-assed, dubious reimplementation of
gossipd. pity
gossipd itself doesn't exist yet."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well really it was a point from ever since
gossipd was discussed, but w/e, not mature yet.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yes. which is why the only sane way for bitcoi nnodes to work is
gossipd mircea_popescu: TomServo might be. but ntp sucks and
gossipd don't exist yet.
mircea_popescu: kinda hoping that the by-default
gossipd keystore system may be enough
mircea_popescu: well, once completed
gossipd actually is a fully decentralized wot keeper, sure.
mircea_popescu: kinda why stuff like the wot-foss i was discussing and even
gossipd are so important
mircea_popescu: artifexd not to be taken lightly this. a lot can be compromised in
gossipd crypto.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: I may have missed it in the logs, but is someone explicitly working on an assbot with gribble functionality or are we going to wait for wotnet /
gossipd? << kakobrekla has been, for a while now
mircea_popescu: artifexd: <BingoBoingo> A
gossipd-net of keyservers would be divine << I like it << kinda how it has to work anyway
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm curious what the
gossipd "counter" strategy is going to be. 've not had the pleasure of finding anything yet.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, that's kind of what that's designed with in mind. if we get quantum boxes,
gossipd will be the killer app for it)
mircea_popescu: instead, people having in their house the quantum equiv of
gossipd mircea_popescu: "
Gossipd is an implementation of MQTT 3.1 broker written in Go. MQTT is an excellent protocal for mobile messaging."
mircea_popescu: all this stemmed from hanbot's comment on the
gossipd article which was supposed to be like 120kb.
mircea_popescu: wheras as proposed,
gossipd makes the enemy outright impossible.
mircea_popescu: i dun see how any of these are serious avenues to attack
gossipd.
mircea_popescu: consider a bunch of chatlogs from
gossipd presented in court.
mircea_popescu: i still can't possibly see what flaw you perceive with the wot part of
gossipd mircea_popescu: and if i am in your list and you in mine the same is preserved by
gossipd.
