Yeah, let's cartelize a real free market.

You can't assign value or tokens to public keys without a blockchain, we've come full circle.

How are you going to transfer the right to have a wine bottle? By continuously signing legal documents?

Embedded expiry, it can't be redeemed before the wine is ready anyway.

That's actually what dollars is, JSON metadata.

Yeah, moving from point A to point B autonomously without relying on public transit i.e. sharing space with other people totally depending on other people's whims and fancies should be a luxury.

I use it alongside OBS and ffmpeg for automated streams, works well.

>IPv6 enables insane precission of device tracking. A side effect of not having enough ipv4 addresses and using NAT is that all your home devices let's say, go out on the internet using only a single IP address

Use random addresses, no further words needed. If you are actually that paranoid, feel free to use stateless translation to change the host part of the IP.

>Also, the geo-location accuracy using ipv4 is at the level of a city. With ipv6 you can get to a geolocation accuracy of a building block and confidently target individual devices within ones home network since they will use

Unless your ISP is announcing unique /48s of individual building block, no. If your home router gets a static IPv4 address, the same problem prevails, not relevant.

>Surely, privacy minded people will find a way around those, but out of the box ipv6 is a privacy regression for the reasons listed above

Out of the box IPv6 offers the same privacy regressions as the original IPv4 before we fucked it to high hell. NAPT is a royal pain for any P2P protocol.

How is IPv6, a protocol that is superior to the IPv4 mess we have come up with to cope with the fact that 32 bits aren't enough to represent each unique computer, a privacy regression? Is the end-to-end principle of the internet a privacy regression too?

By taking away one freedom (the right to relicense software under other licenses or exploit the software, analogical to slavery), you grant more people more freedom (the freedom to modify and use *their* software as they please, analogical to abolishing slavery).

Are you really free without the right to enslave other people?

Don't forget to enable IPv6 and WebRTC.

Yeah violating self-determination of a country without also permanently occupying it can be seen as useless.

You can always use owncast in place of YT or Vimeo Live, with a S3-like service it's highly scalable.

>but the bitcoin paper has little to do with the EVM and smart contracts except as a foundational idea

I am not claiming the bitcoin whitepaper has anything to do with EVM, but it explains why a trustless, digital currency is needed and how it can be implemented. It predates real cryptocurrencies, so it can read easier without references to cryptocurrencies that exist today. The author has demonstrated incredible ignorance of why things like EVM exist in the first place.

>Trustless doesn’t make it more valuable than the trusted systems

Author doesn't understand why people think it could be/is valuable either.

>Yes, she could produce the death certificate, but that wasn't enough. So she couldn't get the car inspected, and therefore wasn't legally allowed to drive it.

What if your dad willed the car to someone else? I suppose a death certificate isn't evidence of being the successor.

The root of identity is still not a public key. To perform essential actions on such a website doesn't need your public key. You are only proving that you have access the private key correspondent to the public key stored in the database entry, and nothing else. Authz is still database records and not inherently trustless akin to cryptographic authentication.

Imagine I had a entirely PGP-based comment system, where the key used to sign comments serves as the identity rather than a database record. The software remaining the same, not even the owner of the database can change the text of the comment without also changing the key, which would immediately destroy the utility of such an action. Applications utilizing MetaMask are actually able to develop this kind of application where it's trustless end to end. Furthermore, comments could also be embedded as a transaction to a hash of the URL (or something akin to that), where anyone with an access to a ethereum node, public or private can access a global comments system.

>You don't need a blockchain for identity. The unique feature that Blockchains provide is protection against double spending (without reliance on a single party), but that isn't a concept relevant to authentication.

Blockchain doesn't solve the Authn problem, it only solves the Authz problem. I can hypothetically make my own game which has a DRM that can only be unlocked if your private key owns the access NFT. They are complementary.

Internet isn't TCP though, it's _just_ IP, and there's two internets, some computers have access to one, or the other, or both.

If they wanted to make P2P protocols illegal, they will have to ban E2E encryption, I could be running the bitcoin protocol over Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp/HTTP. I could be transmitting signed transactions over the sneakernet over the border to a land where bitcoins are free North Korea style.

>making us have to pay (spend tokens) for everything.

If you have to pay, or someone else has to pay for something (in FOSS it is just done in a more distributed way), why use a massively corrupt and degenerate currency to do it?

WebAuthn isn't cryptographic. The root of your identity isn't a public key.

The author beautifully missed the point of having a EVM in the first place, he missed the "it's trustless" memo. EVM is slow because it runs the same code in millions of computers where no computers are trusted and only the consensus of the computers are trusted. You won't be running Firefox or Linux on EVM.

I like how even the most educated and experienced people in the world can't bother to read the bitcoin whitepaper with no reservations.

There's serious need to augment Firefox, it has been years and they still haven't figured out how to let users ergonomically select a new tab page.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1409675 & https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460412

That's not what a PWA is, a PWA is installable, and Firefox doesn't have that.

>"white" doesn't represent a shared culture and history

I think this is pretty objectively false, if it were true, then the white-black dichotomy wouldn't work.

I think you should publish your videos on something like LBRY or IPFS (heck, even put it up as a torrent), that's the only way this kind of stuff will be sustainable.

Perhaps it's indeed time for serious companies (these are definitely not MVPs) to have security insurance and they'd mandate some standard.

You missed my principal question.

Is it just me or I don't see the correlation between WTA and human rights? Do they have a horse in this race?

What part of Asia are you living in? Remember Asia is a massive fucking continent...
