BingoBoingo: From mines: "5 minutes after crossing the bridge I got out of my meditative trance and thought for the first time "Where the hell am I?" And then I sort of panicked.

BingoBoingo: believe it would have been that simple to cross into and keep going without being stopped. But out of panic I turned around and walked back to the bridge telling myself I was a paranoid pussy. I called my friend on the phone walking back and told him where I walked roughly and he just screamed at me to "STOP TALKING AND RUN BACK ACROSS THE BRIDGE NOW"."

mircea_popescu: it appears to me asciilifeform that the way the blackholing works is as an interdiction to communicating old blocks.
mircea_popescu: would make sense, too, as part of a wider strategy to murder the blockchain.
mircea_popescu: notably, this only conceivably works because, obviously, the blocks are communicated plain. we definitely should have internode encryption.
