ben_vulpes: decimation: re
gossipd errything's gonna have to be reimplemented atop it
mircea_popescu: decimation
gossipd is not ready yet. freenode you mean ?
ascii_field: and even this, only after we get it carried over

gossipd mircea_popescu: like, you knock off to decimation and two friends over
gossipd "can you ploxpoint your microtelescope at the x y z and send me the dump ?"
pete_dushenski: or mebbe '
gossipd' does exist in a century but the kids are calling it 'irc' for nostalgia's sake
kakobrekla: hehe,
gossipd still not done till 2115.
BingoBoingo: trinque: Unless he's doing serious work. I dunno what they do, but hope it is monastic study. I'd hate for
gossipd to go through the growing pains of various deed and scoop bots
BingoBoingo:
gossipd seems 18 months to 2 years off at the earliest from public updates in this chan
trinque: hm, so this is a perfect example of a
gossipd use case
mircea_popescu: Hasimir you should probably look into
gossipd while at it, to understand why we think very little indeed of all these "solutions" or w/e they are, colored sugar beads.
mats:
gossipd would be pretty good for cnc servers
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 16:14:04; jurov: i hope
gossipd spec has a part concerning this. otherwise it will be inevitably bolted on in some ugly haphazard fashion
jurov: so if, say i start doing coinbr support over
gossipd, and i transfer it, have to ask everyone to update their /etc/hosts?
davout: jurov: the naming in
gossipd is supposed to be local
jurov: i hope
gossipd spec has a part concerning this. otherwise it will be inevitably bolted on in some ugly haphazard fashion
☟︎ trinque: reduces to a
gossipd device maybe
mircea_popescu: you won't be able to make browser
gossipd that'd for damned sure.
trinque:
gossipd as I understand it readily supports that
trinque: Citizenfive: it appears one of the goals of the
gossipd network is for the topology of the network to be the topology of the WoT
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.
davout: mats: this seems to be supporting mp's thing "bitcoin can only work over
gossipd"
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 18:21:31; trinque: best thing about
gossipd is probably going to be writing software around it
trinque: best thing about

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.
Adlai: bitcoin-over-
gossipd is rather useless without miners in the wot
ben_vulpes: but i suppose that's what
gossipd's for
artifexd: While interesting, that doesn't affect
gossipd because I'm using lower level networking.
Adlai: the more i think about it, the more it seems that nicks are a second layer on top of the wot, provided by specific wot nodes - either a centralized nick->node mapping like assbot, or individual
gossipd configs
Adlai: you can have a wot (and anything built on top, such as
gossipd) without nicks entering the equation
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform:
gossipd requires C. PGP, CL (at least, this is where I'd start).
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: you had a alternate name for
gossipd based on russian theater that had some relation to the nazis. I couldn't find the wiki article again, care to point me to it?
gabriel_laddel: as for my id, I'm currently fixing <irritant to livelihood>. First chance I get I'm sitting down and sorting out the whole GPG thing. As it stands I was not particularly happy with the documentation it supplied and wasn't sure which parts I'd have to rewrite. My previous key got destroyed in a failed backup becuase I didn't spend enough time on it the first time around. Also, I don't think
gossipd is happening via w
the_scourge: speaking of greenfield, what was the reason for greenfielding a re-implementation of psycd? (assuming
gossipd has already been written)
the_scourge: is
gossipd this psycd-like symetrically encrypted UDP IM protocol?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indeed, sort of like
gossipd.
punkman: artifexd, maybe some relevant ideas for
gossipd in that spec
mircea_popescu: artifexd: Current
gossipd status: Education still in progress. Code to the point of loading keys and accepting connections. << sounds pretty good.
artifexd: Current
gossipd status: Education still in progress. Code to the point of loading keys and accepting connections.
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."
hanbot: that's why you were so aghast over
gossipd.go?
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.
TomServo: Something along the lines of a freenas build that includes a fullnode,
gossipd server, ntp server, #b-a-wot-curated datahaven, or whatever else sounds useful.
BingoBoingo: undata: Wait until they demand the new reference bitcoin client and
gossipd build on windows
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.
Adlai: won't
gossipd mitigate this to some extent?
davout: and notary would be connected through asswot's
gossipd's node anyway
davout: greatly simplifies the problem, don't see too much downside to it, and we're eventually moving to
gossipd anyway
decimation: perhaps that quote should be
gossipd's motto
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.
artifexd: How could the crypto routines be compromised in a way that would matter? Weak key generation?
gossipd doesn't generate keys. Weak rng during encryption? I pick the rng (and can offer an option for you to supply your own). Encrypting a message with an "extra" key so peet can read it? That should be easy to see in the code.
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
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?
mircea_popescu: artifexd: <BingoBoingo> A
gossipd-net of keyservers would be divine << I like it << kinda how it has to work anyway
artifexd: <BingoBoingo> A
gossipd-net of keyservers would be divine << I like it
BingoBoingo: A
gossipd-net of keyservers would be divine
Adlai: regarding how to block
gossipd: same way that torrents are "blocked"... either by ultimately ineffective packet filtering by ISPs, or by targeted, expensive, and extreme "making examples of" individuals that fuck up badly enough
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm curious what the
gossipd "counter" strategy is going to be. 've not had the pleasure of finding anything yet.
artifexd: One more question: Any objection to adding a timestamp to the trust ratings in
gossipd?
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
