hello

~ 4 hours 7 minutes ~

11:43

wb jurov!

~ 2 hours 5 minutes ~

13:49

wb jurov !

~ 30 minutes ~

14:19

jurov: let's discuss rebooting tbf when you have a chance.

~ 26 minutes ~

14:46

thestringpuller

hooray! wb jurov. hope you are well.

asciilifeform: may start pushing future transactions through "watchglass network" (as i've internally canonized it), rather than samourai network

~ 29 minutes ~

15:17

thestringpuller: it very rarely makes sense to go through the bother of manually injecting a tx into particular remote noad. (normally you throw it in yours and it broadcasts to errybody in its cache, which normally includes other trb folx)

15:19

speaking of nodez, asciilifeform's is awol, on acct of downed fiber. and asciilifeform himself is on shite gsm fallback, will be on & off today

~ 20 minutes ~

15:39

Run moar Verizon?

15:40

shinohai: in this case yes. moar generally speaking 'run moar cities w/ aboveground utils'

15:41

15:56

thestringpuller: lol, loox like mp's 'plan for wealth'(tm)(r)(c) didn't quite work for this fella

16:04

I'm fine, thanks.

16:05

And about restart, well last I asked what are we actually doing and why, the discussion died.

16:05

jurov: imho 1st thing to do is to get the ml running again

16:05

jurov: i recently baked a patch, had nowhere but own www + logs to put it

16:06

jurov: the other thing, i'd like to start writing broadcasts again (quarterly, say) ; willing to do w/ own hands

16:07

as for 'why' -- asciilifeform + a number of known folx + some unknown number of unknowns , use trb, and per investigations carried out by billymg & whaack , trb noades may in fact constitute a substantial % of the network's functioning carrying capacity.

16:08

additionally, trb is imho valuable for its original, per asciilifeform , purpose -- to serve as gold standard ref for work on replacement client.

16:08

*

asciilifeform intends to continue maintaining trb, and would prefer to do it w/ jurov et al.

16:10

jurov: also interested in your old idea re potentially offering bounties for trb work. (but this -- later)

16:11

jurov: see logs re whaack's and billymg's node explorer projects, also.

16:17

Sing out jurov asciilifeform if any trb help needed on this end aside from maintaining mirror and such that am already doing.

16:17

Otherwise I'll just shitpost all day.

16:20

Ok I'll have to get up to speed. The old ml isn't coming back, but a simple web app with a form that checks submission with gpg and publishes it.

16:21

jurov: would imho entirely suffice to have web hopper

16:23

I thought maybe trb will be in vain as the power rangers eventually succeed completely replacing the bitcoin protocol. But all the ways to "save" block space they did aren't very effective, so not happening.

16:24

jurov: indeed trb still entirely worx!

16:24

jurov: btw in case you missed, hitler kaput!

16:25

jurov: My "covert" twitter research shows they are so gaga over "L2" solutions and "taproot" right now, nothing of consequence has changed with underlying protocol.

16:26

i read about mp yesterday, then said to myself stop procrastinating and check back

16:27

jurov: lotsa interesting things happening. asciilifeform for instance is trying to get p2p irc/irclike net off the ground.

16:27

Logged on 2021-06-18 18:35:02 asciilifeform: the troo p2p topology i propose removes all kindsa fundamentally palace-flavoured concepts -- 'joining', 'kicking', 'banning' -- and replaces simply w/ freedom of association, i.e. peering & unpeering.

jurov: are you able to log in as op of #therealbitcoin ? it's become infested with liquishit
