that one seems like it just brings back centralization
apart from probably being unworkable
i mean like, centralization by consensus, like for many democratic governments
which have overwhelming popular support, dont forget
does hearn still come here or in #bitsquare btw?
it was cool chatting to him when he was around
oakpacific
i said some similar tl;dr down there
i think the central idea is, if everyone hates you and wants you to get caught, let's be real, you can't escape
wherever you are, whatever you use
technology doesn't help people to decide, it just execute their decisions at greated efficiency
belcher
ok but some technology is inherently helpful more to some kinds of ideas than others
the printing press in europe is highly related to protestant christianity for instance
technology shapes society, makes some ideas more likely to win than others
ideas = any kind of movement
and for your central idea, technology like tor allows pedophiles to organise and communicate when earlier they could never find each other, even though literally everyone else hates pedophiles
obv i believe in tor, thats not the point, even facebook believes in tor
hearn gave me another idea reading that
the community expressing its will can be expressed through ddos
oakpacific
you know what, i think that's actually because tor is to a degree centralized
relays are not normal nodes, they are a level higher
belcher
much of the power is decentralized
so theres a central list of nodes iirc
but the stuff that matters, knowledge of whose talking to whom, is completely decentralized
damn, 00:30 already
oakpacific
nah, the 8000 or so relays decide if you can be found
not the millions users at large
if everyone is a node, and 90% of them hate pedos
authority can just ask them one by one to tell some certain packets's upstream IPs
"It is estimated that 20,000 people in the UK currently hold Bitcoins and around £60m worth are circulating in the UK economy. But we want to get the facts on why people are using them. " lol, I bet you do!
gov.uk is choosing rsa/aes-128-cbc :)

waxwing: your browser seems to be old and need updates? or maybe you configured it specifically for tlsnotary?
it's showing DHE/AES-GCM for me
waxwing
no i checked. FF33 on defaults.
ah . tlsversion num, hang on..
no, still ok tls.version.max is set to 3.
oakpacific
well, then they are a nasty site, still is using government website as an oracle a good idea?
waxwing
yes, it's an excellent idea for verifying an identity, if that is possible and for some reason turns out to be useful.
anyway the default is not the main issue, i'm sure most such sites will still support rsa.
oakpacific
waxwing: oh, i didn't think that far today(though definitely for the last several days)
i was talking about pubkey-sanity check oracle
waxwing
oh that, no , def wouldn't use a gov site for that
or hang on, you mean pms check or? pubkey sanity checking, what's that?
oakpacific
waxwing: yeah, right, sorry it's a sleepy morning
waxwing: well generally the principle seems to be as little collusion as possible
so seems the sites should be in as many industries as possible
waxwing
oakpacific, i was puzzled what might be causing you getting a different cipher suite, possibly you have tls.version.min set to 3? or possibly you're using chrome?
oakpacific
waxwing: yes i am using chrome for sure, but why would that cause a difference?
waxwing
oakpacific, basically, adam langley. 'nuff said :)
maybe he read our paper and disabled tls 1.0 :)
oakpacific
waxwing: okay, sorry for not providing enough info
that's rather....hmmm
waxwing
i can fire up chrome now and i'd bet i'll get the same as you.
oakpacific
waxwing: i tried ff already
waxwing
yeah i get the same as you for chrome
oakpacific
and i already somehow thought the same
waxwing
in ff make sure you have tls.version.min at 1 (or 0 if you think poodle is a bunch of crap), and tls.version.max at 3
oakpacific secretly hopes definitive proof of NSA sabotage of P-256 cruves surface to give DHE missionaries a kick in the butt
secretly? heh
i'm the same, i'd love to see that happen. people treat mathematics too much like brands. ECC is the Apple of crypto.
oakpacific
okay, obscurely
oh wait, just realize gov.uk uses the traditional DHE, not ECDHE
speculating on the motives of website operators for using a particular CC is such a fun sport :)
So I'm waiting for feedback on the notification box redesign thing, in particular need to change the icon. once that's done i would assume we could shove in signing to the peer messaging. but until then i probably won't do anything else.
of course, any changes proposed to the website could be thrown in too. i could make a little repo for the website front page maybe.
oakpacific
waxwing: how do i try out without it being merged? from your repo?
dansmith_btc, is it poss. to use those others via python directly?
dansmith_btc
waxwing, all 4 will be used via python, i will also get rid of the old sendspace.js files
waxwing
OK great. well, big thumbs up from me then. obv would be nice to find a p2p way to send the data practically, but this is a nice step forwards, hope it's not too much work.
dansmith_btc
took me a night of reverse engineering
waxwing
dansmith_btc, well, goes without saying, but thanks for putting in the time. i have a technical comment, but will put it in the issue thread instead.
