thestringpuller decentralized bitbet? [00:03]
thestringpuller http://augur.link/augur.pdf [00:03]
danielpbarron such a thing is not possible; there needs to be an arbiter to decide if a bet has resolved yes or no [00:05]
thestringpuller but that's what oracles are for [00:07]
asciilifeform 'A key feature of Augur is tradeable Reputation. The total amount of Reputation is a fixed quantity, determined upon the launch of Augur. Holding Reputation entitles its owner to report on the outcomes of events, after the events occur. Reputation tokens are similar in other respects to Bitcoins: they are divisible to eight decimal places, they are accounted for by summing over unspent transaction outputs, and they can be sent [00:07]
asciilifeform between users.' [00:07]
asciilifeform ^ lol! [00:07]
asciilifeform srsly ? [00:07]
thestringpuller danielpbarron is in party. regenerate 5 hp per turn. :D [00:07]
thestringpuller caise ypi [00:07]
thestringpuller cause you're a crypto priest* [00:07]
danielpbarron decentralized bitbet like counterparty is decentralized mpex; just replaces the infrastructure (with something worse) [00:08]
asciilifeform i'm not averse to seeing actual solutions to 'decentralized xxxxx,' but they inevitably fall short re: 'democracy-proofing' [00:09]
asciilifeform who wants democracy pus in his meal ? [00:09]
thestringpuller !s democracy-proofing [00:09]
assbot 0 results for 'democracy-proofing' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=democracy-proofing [00:09]
thestringpuller care to elaborate sir asciilifeform ? [00:09]
thestringpuller or is it Dr. asciilifeform [00:10]
asciilifeform aka sybil, dos, etc. attacks [00:10]
asciilifeform !s sybil [00:10]
assbot 34 results for 'sybil' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=sybil [00:10]
asciilifeform there we go. [00:10]
thestringpuller how does that prevent democracy? (a sybil attack)? [00:10]
asciilifeform the basic idea is that meat puppets are not in any fundamental way different from other types of puppet. [00:10]
asciilifeform and must be dealt with through same mechanisms. [00:10]
asciilifeform the 'tradeable reputation' thing sounds disastrous. [00:11]
asciilifeform perhaps i'm just thick. [00:11]
thestringpuller ah. i understand your viewpoint tho. [00:11]
thestringpuller it all depends on volume of puppet imo. [00:12]
thestringpuller or maybe everyone is a puppet of some sort. that's a little beyond me tho [00:12]
asciilifeform in point of fact, even our system of reputation (wot) is theoretically 'tradeable', in that somebody could - in principle - sell his privkey to satan [00:12]
danielpbarron of course it's disastrous; it's like giving the -otc folk power based on their total rating score (which they build up through trivial deals) [00:13]
asciilifeform but baking tradeability in as a matter of course - is another thing [00:13]
asciilifeform lunacy, imho [00:13]
* MetatronOne has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [00:13]
thestringpuller isn't this classic dilemma of selling soul for some benefit/value [00:13]
thestringpuller you only have one to trade. [00:13]
asciilifeform which they build up through trivial deals << aha. this is actually an age-old plague on 'ebay' and the like. [00:13]
thestringpuller tis also irreverisble in nature. [00:13]
asciilifeform sc4mz0r cultivates rating with 100,000 'a+++++ gr34t d34lz' [00:14]
asciilifeform of fivebux each [00:14]
asciilifeform then proceeds to sell, e.g., nonexisting cars. [00:14]
danielpbarron the joke in otc is "Smooth TM" [00:14]
thestringpuller this is how athero was able to launch ziggap [00:14]
thestringpuller he sold shares in non existant broker bitcoin selling thing compan [00:15]

danielpbarron what with all the hard fork drama, i'd say anything that can be kept centralized should probably remain centralized [00:16]
thestringpuller danielpbarron: i think the hardfork drama is fundamentally seeing split, or cold war in bitcoin [00:16]
thestringpuller east vs. west. [00:16]
thestringpuller capitalist vs. socialist [00:16]
thestringpuller etc. [00:16]
asciilifeform i have said before that an official usg altcoin is inevitable. [00:17]
asciilifeform gavincoin's probably it. [00:17]
thestringpuller yet we'll still pay taxes in bezzles? [00:17]
asciilifeform thestringpuller: gavincoin is not made to replace usd, but to bleed bitcoin [00:17]
thestringpuller ofc, but USG coin that is used to also do what? annoy us out of our money like some comcast nonsenese? [00:18]
asciilifeform you will have to ask the fellow who thought it up [00:18]
asciilifeform once he sits down on mircea_popescu's stake. [00:18]
asciilifeform perhaps he'll do a q&a [00:18]
danielpbarron "I am slowely being impaled on a sharped stake. Ask me anything." [00:19]
asciilifeform !b 5 [00:19]
assbot Last 5 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/0VE53AD.txt ) [00:19]
thestringpuller asciilifeform: I do not see how anyone will contribute to usgavincoin when Buterin's waterfall explodes right after inception. [00:20]
thestringpuller Spend X money to build hoover dam and it explodes less than a year while runnign? [00:21]
asciilifeform seems clear that they'll pour the water on the other side. [00:21]
asciilifeform not on their own. (of the fork) [00:21]
thestringpuller But isn't this like someone trying to power a water wheel by simply running up stream with buckets of water they collect downstream? [00:22]
asciilifeform collected. [00:22]
asciilifeform or rather, robbed. [00:22]
danielpbarron there are plenty of people who are so focused on "mass adoption" as a priority that they will compromise any and all aspects of bitcoin to further that goal; what would get more mass adoption than endorsement from USG? [00:22]
thestringpuller It's still non-trivial effort tho, to run long term [00:22]
thestringpuller and wasteful. like fast explosion vs slow ember [00:22]
thestringpuller at least in my mind [00:22]
asciilifeform i'm not seeing any serious evidence of 'long-term' thinking on usg's part. [00:23]
thestringpuller i can only imagine poor peon running up stream trying to keep water wheel moving [00:23]
asciilifeform i can easily picture an 'atomic war' where every btc which usg has at some point begged, borrowed, stole, or can prevail upon a vassal to give up control of - will be placed on market in a 'last hurrah' [00:24]
thestringpuller danielpbarron: re: mass adoption << I always felt people wanted mass adoption so price raises. [00:24]
thestringpuller Which is perverted thinking at best. [00:25]
thestringpuller starving marvin in kenya buys a bitcoin with his 50000 kenyan shillings he saved up over the course of 5 years... [00:25]
danielpbarron i don't think they are so rational; i suspect it has more to do with "going viral" like a clever youtube video, and having been in on it before it was trendy [00:26]
danielpbarron although 2014 might have put an end to that [00:27]
thestringpuller i never understood when going viral became the equivalent of becoming valuable... [00:29]
* paxtoncamaro91 (~paxtoncam@unaffiliated/paxtoncamaro91) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:29]
asciilifeform from the standpoint of vermin - yes, valuable [00:29]
asciilifeform all vermin envy the virus. [00:30]
thestringpuller black plague for all? [00:30]
thestringpuller but in all srsns, i thought the "popularity contest" died out by the end of high school [00:30]
thestringpuller now it seems the popularity contest is "the thing" [00:30]
thestringpuller 22:13 <+asciilifeform> i have said before that an official usg altcoin is [00:32]
thestringpuller ^- my bad. copy paste is bad with this one [00:32]
* CheckDavid has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [00:38]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: (and that there is another one, where it wasn't. but i think we did this one before) << like 5 or 7 times. [00:42]
mircea_popescu danielpbarron: such a thing is not possible; there needs to be an arbiter to decide if a bet has resolved yes or no << easier to "invent" stuff than understand stuff. just like it's easier to write new code than understand coding. [00:44]
mircea_popescu "whenever misreporting an event is worth more to your stake than it costs to buy back the lost reputation, you misreport the event. decentralized selective scamming ftw!" [00:46]
mircea_popescu "others will not readily understand how our implementation of 3 card monte is an implementation of 3 card monte, giving us an exploitable knowledge asymmetry - which makes this exactly an altcoin, which is why it's sensible to pretend we're like bitcoin" [00:47]
mircea_popescu etc [00:47]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller: this is how athero was able to launch ziggap << not a very good example. he had amassed trust over time, and likely at a higher cost than what he made out of it. the controlling factor there was "insane guy stopped taking his pills one day." [00:49]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6100 @ 0.00041938 = 2.5582 BTC [-] [00:49]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: i couldn't find good example on top of head. but was jist of it received? [00:50]
mircea_popescu sure [00:50]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: gavincoin's probably it. << no. in typical fashion they're trying to play it "anonymously". ie, not official. [00:51]
mircea_popescu it really gets them the worst of both worlds, but hey, it's what committees get. no actual men there to take charge. [00:51]
mircea_popescu danielpbarron: there are plenty of people who are so focused on "mass adoption" as a priority that they will compromise any and all aspects of bitcoin to further that goal; what would get more mass adoption than endorsement from USG? << it could become a new brand of tide. [00:52]
mircea_popescu "bitcoin is now a detergent. finally a commodity !!!" [00:52]
asciilifeform they're trying to play it "anonymously". ie, not official << with pretense every bit as thin as with 'tor'. [00:54]
mircea_popescu hence worst of both worlds. [00:55]
xiando I would prefer if they don't endorse that or anything and leave it alone. [01:02]

decimation asciilifeform: lol so apparently reddit is where bums hang out? [03:03]
mircea_popescu been saying that for a while!11 [03:04]
decimation the other amusing point that the article fails to bring up: if the 'poor' must pay to live in a dense shitty city, why not move to the country? [03:05]
asciilifeform decimation: presumably, moving costs something [03:05]

decimation it's pretty obvious that the guy is a control freak who gets off on forcing his way [03:29]
decimation "So we started writing Systemd, and Red Hat didn’t like it at all. Red Hat management said: no, we’re going for Upstart, don’t work on that. So I said, OK, I’ll work on it in my free time. Eventually Red Hat realised that the problems we solved with Systemd were relevant, and were problems that needed to be solved, and that you couldn’t ignore them." [03:30]
* badon has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [03:30]
undata decimation: I wasn't aware of that particular detail [03:31]
undata tragic; upstart is a much simpler alternative [03:31]
decimation "So anyway, long story short, we came to the conclusion that Upstart is conceptually wrong, and it moved at glacial speeds. It also had the problem that Canonical tried very hard to stay in control of it. They made sure, with copyright assignment, that they made it really hard to contribute, but that’s what Linux actually lives off. You get these drive-by patches, as I would call them, where people see that something is broken, or [03:32]
decimation something could be improved. They do a Git checkout, do one change, send you it and forget about it." [03:32]
decimation he tries to make a halfass technical argument against Upstart, and then whines that it's hard to make commits [03:32]
decimation later on he describes people who like systemd as "progressive" and those who reject it as 'conservative' [03:34]

mircea_popescu kinda why "adoption" is meaningless. i don't care for anyone to "adopt" anything i do. i might care if they change to fit to it. but otherwise, good fucking luck, there's no value in having a bunch of pacific islanders speak english as if it were the retarded language they spoke before.

decimation well, apparently he confirmed that redhat was itself a ship of lemmings, looking for a lemming-king, and lennart was their man [04:11]
mircea_popescu but also why a certain attitude to ineptitude, from the "affirmative action", "wopmen in tech" "don't say nigger" all the way to stupidities like the equalitarism in freenode's policies is so very important. and why linus' "fuck you" is such a major thing. [04:12]
mircea_popescu it's not gratuitous, all this. it provides a very valuable signal, both to the inferior and to the superior. [04:12]
mircea_popescu every time you see someone being stupid, piss on his face. this is important for them, and it's important for me. [04:12]
mircea_popescu tolerance is not the answer to any question worth asking, and it does not serve any purpose other than the general drowning in shit. which is not a desirable outcome in any case. [04:13]

mircea_popescu kakobrekla works for me, editing this spec. [13:49]
decimation yeah, actually from his rambling answer in the linked youtube (starting 45:30), there's very little evidence obama is even aware about the 'backdoor encryption' issue at all [13:50]
mircea_popescu honestly, i don't see it's a president's job, that. [13:51]
mircea_popescu and it's not how you ask the president that question, either. [13:51]
decimation well, certainly it ought to be something he answers in writing, in detail [13:51]
decimation the trouble is there's no method to compel an answer [13:51]
mircea_popescu this is roughly the equivalent of a company with 10k cab fleet having famously a weak alternator, and some reporter asking the CEO "what about the spinny trick ?" [13:51]

mircea_popescu that's not what you say. you say, "as you may be aware, because this so and so weakness in this part of the engine that does that and this, some drivers are so and so.". guy needs an intro. [13:52]
mircea_popescu no, there shouldn't be a way to compel an answer. wtf ?! [13:52]

decimation because the implication of both cameron's and obama's answer is "no" [13:56]
mircea_popescu because that's why we go to school : so we can present our inquiries in such a way that OTHER PEOPLE can fucking grok wtf we want to know [13:56]
* McNumpty has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [13:56]
decimation and that appears to completely contradict constitutional and court precedent [13:56]
decimation 'because terrorism' [13:56]
mircea_popescu decimation i bet you the guy does not even currently ~KNOW~ that that's what's being discussed. [13:57]
decimation cameron clearly does, but obama gave no evidence of it [13:57]
mircea_popescu because fucking aspie autistic idiot kids + total incompetent "women in journalism" ask dronign, meaningless questions [13:57]
decimation note that there are people who could ask such questions [13:58]

mircea_popescu decimation so noted. why don't they ? [13:58]
mircea_popescu PeterL obviously, the idiocy's own internal logic is its downfall. kinda the problem with all insanity. [13:59]
decimation because the civil service would exclude access to that journalist's organization [13:59]

mircea_popescu decimation: there's a deep hypocrisy here somewhere. apparently the usg entities who are involved with foreign surveillance couldn't possibly do their jobs if they were subject to 'regulation', but of course regular people trying to say, transact bitcoin, have no such reprieve << well, usg entities that deal in bitcoin do have such reprieve currently ?

mircea_popescu heck, the us scammer office (previously marshall's office) doesn't have to answer foia if it doesn't feel like it, and can even lie in public statements. [14:06]
mircea_popescu come to think about it, so can the da. [14:06]
mircea_popescu seems to me like pretty complete legal immunity. [14:06]
decimation in theory, usg has no legal immunity (from criminal courts), but in practice it clearly does [14:06]

ben_vulpes far easier for the people working on it at the time to make some silly assumptions about what txns a user would want to sign, and then keep those txns on hand [15:57]
ben_vulpes creating a raw transaction requires having the previous transaction in hand in full at runtime, so as to extract the pubkey from the previous transaction [15:57]
ben_vulpes while this isn't *strictly* necessary, it's how things work now. [15:57]
ben_vulpes i don't know that a bitcoind would be able to verify a transaction without access to the full inputs [15:58]
danielpbarron i thought all you need to know is the tx id of the outputs you want to use, the private keys of the coresponding addresses, a destination, and an amount [15:59]
ben_vulpes to use the modern txn api, yeah [15:59]
ben_vulpes but! [16:00]
ben_vulpes to verify that you've created a valid transaction, you have to have the entirety of the previous output on hand to examine the public key [16:00]
ben_vulpes otherwise you just sign hash of txn, index in txn, and have no way to double check that you produced a valid signature corresponding to the pubkey to which those funds were transmitted originally. [16:01]
ben_vulpes danielpbarron: make sense? [16:01]
* AaronvanW has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [16:02]
ben_vulpes (one can sign anything at any time - that's not the problem. the problems crop up in a) knowing the sigs are valid and b) the multi-input, multi-privkey transaction generation use-case: how am i to know which privkeys are to be used to sign which inputs, and furthermore [and somewhat recursively] how do i know those signatures to be valid?) [16:02]
danielpbarron what are you signing it with? [16:02]
ben_vulpes a user-supplied privkey. [16:02]
danielpbarron the one that goes with the pubkey of the output right/ [16:03]
ben_vulpes sure [16:03]
ben_vulpes how do i get the pubkey for a given output? [16:03]
ben_vulpes say i have the transaction hash (aka txid) and output index - how do i get the pubkey those coins were sent to? [16:04]
danielpbarron this is for deedbot right? don't you already know what the last pubkey was? [16:04]
ben_vulpes no no no [16:04]
ben_vulpes raw transactions [16:04]
ben_vulpes *entirely* different project [16:04]
danielpbarron oh well yeah you need to know the whole blockchain to verify a tx in that case [16:05]
danielpbarron i tried to make a raw tx once, got rejected by my own node for having too small a fee [16:06]
asciilifeform sorta the point of having blockchain, no ? [16:06]
ben_vulpes "whole blockchain" << and more specifically, a trivial lookup of txids [16:06]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: iirc, i did mention 'can pull up arbitrary tx' as part of what a 'whole bitcoin node' has to do [16:07]
asciilifeform perhaps i should have given more proof [16:08]
* asciilifeform lazy [16:08]

Apocalyptic mircea, what is your pastebin supposed to show ? [21:28]
davout if you don't have the key in your ring it won't know the fpr [21:28]
mircea_popescu Apocalyptic the fingerprint, penultimate line. [21:28]
undata davout is right [21:28]
Apocalyptic it does show "Primary key fingerprint: 6160 E1CA C8A3 C529 66FD 7699 8A73 6F0E 2FB7 B452" because you have you own key in your keyring obviously [21:28]
Apocalyptic go try it on a system you have no [21:28]
Apocalyptic *not [21:29]
mircea_popescu davout if you don';t have the key you can't verify signatures, dork! [21:29]
davout lol, deedbot isn't supposed to verify sigs amirite [21:29]
Apocalyptic well this was the whole point of the discussion [21:29]
Apocalyptic and according to davout it's not supposed ot verify [21:29]
undata ^ this enraged me [21:29]
* undata is open to correction [21:29]
davout i could tell [21:29]
mircea_popescu well apparently it just became required to verify cause otherwise it can't talk to assbot. [21:30]
mircea_popescu accidental spec! [21:30]
davout mircea_popescu: with the fingerprint for a key it could simply do what you said wrt requesting trust data as a json blob from the w.b-a.link thing [21:30]
davout s/for a key/for a sig/ [21:31]
mircea_popescu davout but assbot won't respond unless he queries by fingerprints. [21:31]
davout yea that's the whole problem [21:31]
mircea_popescu IF gpg doesn't put out full fingerprints for verified keys, then gpg is broken [21:31]
mircea_popescu gpg: Signature made Sat 21 Aug 1999 07:04:31 PM ART using DSA key ID 8ACE3E79 [21:31]
mircea_popescu gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found [21:31]
mircea_popescu myeah. [21:31]
davout the crux is 'verified keys', if deedbot doesn't maintain a full keyring at all times it can't pull fingerprints [21:32]
davout this sounds a bit overkill to me [21:32]
mircea_popescu defo the gpg signature model is bad. [21:32]
mircea_popescu feel free to fork and fix the gpg key verification process so it reports fingerpritns properly not wtf it's doing now. [21:32]
davout gpg can't know the fpr for a key it doesn't have, the information isn't part of the signature packet [21:33]
Apocalyptic mircea, note that neither the "-v" nor the "--with-fingerprint" flags are required to get the fingerprint line displayed [21:33]
mircea_popescu who the fuck did thius. [21:33]
Apocalyptic ^ I asked myself the same [21:33]
davout see http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2015#980997 [21:34]
assbot Logged on 17-01-2015 22:34:54; davout: asciilifeform: yeah, that's what i was reading, it mentions user ids in the subpackets spec, but i'm unsure whether that includes an actual key fingerprint, i tend to understand that it doesn't [21:34]
* mircea_popescu rages [21:34]
mircea_popescu dude rms, you saved 24 bytes aren't you a smart fucking cookie. [21:34]
mircea_popescu davout only possible workaround seems keeping the lordship keys. [21:35]
PeterL would it be hard to maintain a keyring with all us in it? [21:35]
undata no [21:35]
Apocalyptic that's what punkman's bot did afaik [21:35]
mircea_popescu which i guess is not that bad, seeing how it also solves the problem of the untrustworthy pgp-sks etc [21:35]
davout anyway, my point wrt to deedbot is that it's supposed to be used by ppl with L1/L2 trust, it doesn't need to check gpg signatures, so let anyone with +v in -assets use it, do away with the requirement that a keyid belonging to someone in assbot's wot be presented or maliciously hammered into the message [21:35]
mircea_popescu so i guess ima have to modify the spec instead of finishing my "on terrorism' article. [21:36]
mircea_popescu davout how do you propose to query assbot for l1/l2 inclusion ? [21:36]
davout whoever has voice in -assets shall be deemed worthy to notarize [21:36]
mircea_popescu derp. [21:37]
mircea_popescu no, it's not ok to overload voice like that. [21:37]
undata this was my entire rant [21:37]
davout greatly simplifies the problem, don't see too much downside to it, and we're eventually moving to gossipd anyway [21:37]
mircea_popescu i give voice to all the whores, not to mention all sorts of known usg agents [21:37]
PeterL but you would still need keys to verify deed signatures? [21:37]
undata why should gpg exist; irc is apparently all we ever needed [21:37]
mircea_popescu PeterL original spec didn't call for that. [21:37]
davout and notary would be connected through asswot's gossipd's node anyway [21:37]
PeterL oh, do deeds even need to be gpg signed? [21:38]
mircea_popescu davout undata gossipd can well be a year or two away. [21:38]
mircea_popescu PeterL yes. [21:38]
undata mircea_popescu: I am being facetious, and argued earlier for sig verification [21:38]
davout let whores timestamp some blobs now and then i say [21:38]
undata I'm hacking on something now, but will wait for an updated spec [21:38]
PeterL why sign if you are not verifying? [21:38]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10900 @ 0.00050843 = 5.5419 BTC [-] [21:38]
davout undata: you fail to comprehend that it's not deedbot's job to certify to a third party that the contract is signed by an identified party, gpg already does that [21:39]
davout wrt to your earlier example of me scamming you, anybody can verify i signed the contract by using gpg itself [21:39]
undata davout: its output should be the history of valid deeds, not "that which a rubber stamp has touched" [21:39]
davout why the hell would it need deedbot to testify to that too ? [21:40]
undata god... do the proceedings of court note that a pidgeon shat on the window? [21:40]
davout that didn't parse [21:40]
davout it did derp [21:40]
undata have you ever been to a notary? [21:40]
davout why do you absolutely want to shoehorn your conception of a notary into deedbot? [21:41]
undata do you know what a deed is? [21:41]
undata or why one has it observed by a 3rd party? [21:41]
undata and signed as such [21:41]
davout we don't need Z to witness that X and Y signed a contract together, because any party can and will use GPG [21:42]
davout and properly verify that fact [21:42]
davout why would Z's word add any value to the information GPG outputs? [21:42]
punkman it doesn't really, but it's useful nonetheless [21:43]
undata keeps the published bundles down to a size that is manageable [21:43]
undata keeps it from being filled with useless crud with invalid sigs [21:44]
davout wtf is this size bzns? [21:44]
undata size for hands and eyeballs to verify [21:44]

mircea_popescu undata no, payment comes from teh boty. [21:50]

mircea_popescu but dun worry about it, i seeded the prev one an' ill seed this one too. [21:50]
undata k [21:51]
mircea_popescu davout it gotta be one way. if there's four people and they fuck in two subsets of twos, that's segregation. if there's one that fucks all other three but the rest only jack off, that's privilege. [21:52]
davout i see [21:53]
mircea_popescu is "and pushes it to public repositories" a point of contention ? [21:54]
PeterL wouldn't keys already be public when registering with assbot? [21:54]
davout mircea_popescu: well, now the bot needs a key too :-) [21:55]
mircea_popescu PeterL idea kinda is to make a further record of people's sigs, help guard them against mitm and other nefariousness. but as davout points out, now the bot needs a key. [21:55]
PeterL did it not have a key before? [21:55]
mircea_popescu which makes shit more complicated. however, it also makes shit perhaps better defensible ? i dunno. [21:55]
mircea_popescu nah. [21:55]
davout i don't really see a use for that [21:56]
davout and if the signature on the blob is required only for access control, maybe it's be better to leverage asswot's functionality directly [21:57]
mircea_popescu davout nah, it's required for inclusion in bthe actual deed. [21:57]
davout as in 'wanna timestamp some stuff? fine, verify with and otp" [21:57]
mircea_popescu for later ppl to be able to verify at home. [21:57]
davout say i want to timestamp a contract i made with someone also in the L2 group as nested clearsigns, i doesn't really matter which signature is checked by deedbot, right? [22:02]
davout nah, scratch that [22:02]
mircea_popescu it only checks outer. [22:03]
davout yeah well, i wanted to point out that it didn't really prevent anyone from checking the inner sig at home [22:03]
davout i just fail to see a good reason to make the signatures mandatory, outside of access control that is [22:04]

davout that's how is spec'd yes :-) [22:08]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform no but suppose your 4kb key is factorized. this matter is discovered by joe on june 19th, 3211. he signs, with his 64kb key, a note saying so. [22:09]
mircea_popescu now, come 3714, it will be clear that uses ulterior to 3211 are null. but it will also be clear that uses prior to say, 3200 will still hold [22:09]
mircea_popescu davout that's how it goes, why not. [22:10]
asciilifeform well yes, in that case joe is, so to speak, trimming the weeds on your monument. [22:10]
mircea_popescu yup [22:10]
davout asciilifeform: also if you see a message signed with your key, and timestamped 200 years after your first timestamped message you can reasonably assumed it's been broken [22:11]

mircea_popescu I don't suppose people pass keys down to their heirs? << people well might. [22:33]
mircea_popescu what exactly is inheritance if not this, fundamentally, inheriting father's FIRM. ie, signature. [22:34]
asciilifeform nope. [22:36]
asciilifeform in the case of pgp key, it's rather like, in the worst case, time travel. [22:36]

asciilifeform dead pope's seal is broken for a reason. [22:37]
asciilifeform granted, not everyone is a pope. [22:37]
undata asciilifeform: still seems father would sign a public statement granting his possessions to a son [22:37]
mircea_popescu a complicated matter. [22:38]
asciilifeform sure. but he does not give him the ability to retroactively emulate him [22:38]
undata asciilifeform: I was agreeing :) [22:38]
asciilifeform father might want to bind the son into some sort of 'dead hand' arrangement [22:38]
mircea_popescu father generally does, for "son's own good". [22:38]

asciilifeform if son inherits signature, he can possibly unbind himself. [22:45]
asciilifeform or worse [22:45]
asciilifeform (crap all over father's posthumous good name by forging past xxxxx) [22:46]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform you can't forge past because you can' register old deeds. [22:46]
mircea_popescu and you can retire a key any time you feel like. [22:46]
asciilifeform this assumes a universally agreed upon timestamp mechanism, yes. [22:47]
asciilifeform if there isn't one - can forge. [22:47]
