[22:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; agenda:
[22:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 0) welcome
[22:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 1) status
[22:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 2) transport futures
[22:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 3) peer stats for selection
[22:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 4) apps
[22:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 5) ...?
[22:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 0)
[22:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; hi.
[22:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 66 is it?
[22:05] &lt;duck&gt; 7) what brand of whiskey does jrand0m drink?
[22:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; bushmills, glenlivit
[22:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (for whiskey and whisky, respectively)
[22:06] &lt;TC&gt; yey, i made the meating
[22:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; woot
[22:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, 1) status
[22:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the kademlia stuff is coming along very well.
[22:07] &lt;jrand0m&gt; I've build a little simulator that runs a network of five nodes and puts them through the basic tests
[22:07] &lt;jrand0m&gt; also the idn stuff is implemented with some tests as well
[22:08] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the last two days or so have been focused on making sure the kademlia code works for both idn and for the i2p netdb, which has caused a bunch of changes
[22:09] &lt;jrand0m&gt; actually, the big change is that I'm forcing myself to be practical and make the kademlia code work first with the netDb and /then/ think about the idn stuff.
[22:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; idn right now is kind of functional, except for inter-node comm (which will be replaced with comm over i2p, of course ;)
[22:10] &lt;TC&gt; idn is the stuff for the distributed storage?
[22:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; roadmap has been updated as well - http://wiki.invisiblenet.net/iip-wiki?I2PRoadmap
[22:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yes
[22:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; idn = Invisible Distribution Network
[22:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (free open source anonymous akamai, basically)
[22:11] &lt;TC&gt; is there a non anonymous public akamai implemintation i could play with?
[22:11] *** leenookx (~leenookx@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; mnet is probably up that alley
[22:12] *** Signoff: nickthief60934 (Excess Flood)
[22:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; before I jump back into the router completely, I'm planning on leaving the idn code in a state that /hopefully/ someone would be able to jump in and make that into a usable app.
[22:13] *** dm (~sd@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:14] *** nickthief60934 (~chatzilla@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:14] &lt;jrand0m&gt; if you see the roadmap, kademlia has been pushed into the 0.2.2 release. in addition, there are also two big outstanding things that I hope to have in there, fixing a pair of bugs that do annoying things
[22:14] &lt;TC&gt; would it be posible do image grabs do idn from an i2ptunnel eepsite?
[22:15] &lt;jrand0m&gt; hmm?
[22:15] &lt;jrand0m&gt; oh, like &lt;img src="idn:blah"&gt;?
[22:15] &lt;TC&gt; i was just thinking of bandwidth saving, yes
[22:15] &lt;Ophite1&gt; protocol would be the obvious way to go, yes.
[22:16] &lt;jrand0m&gt; hmm Ophite1?
[22:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (sorry, I'm sick again so might not be quite on top of my game today)
[22:17] &lt;dm&gt; how many LOC have you written jr?
[22:17] &lt;TC&gt; Ophite1, could i2p tunnel be modified to redirect?
[22:18] &lt;TC&gt; or could the browser do it on its own somehow?
[22:18] &lt;jrand0m&gt; dm&gt; "find . -exec grep \\\; {} \; | wc -l" currently puts the sdk ~8kloc, the router ~11kloc
[22:18] &lt;dm&gt; okay thanks.
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; idn would want to support receiving requests from browsers.
[22:19] &lt;Ophite1&gt; would mean integrating idn into i2ptunnel. very ugly.
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; currently idn has a so-god-damn-easy api.
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the api is the file system.
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; aka:
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; command=get
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; key=zGb1tPM6ARNRTWZLCWK4XXco2Ngk8ccx-ciDUCom~9U
[22:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; saveAs=testGetOutput.txt
[22:20] &lt;jrand0m&gt; place that in a file in a directory, and voila.
[22:20] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (that was the easiest possible for me to implement and test with. certainly better ones can be found and made)
[22:21] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, so, yeah. thats the status. I'm hoping for a 0.2.2 release by this time next week, at least.
[22:22] &lt;jrand0m&gt; that'll include the first integration of the kademlia stuff, tunnel fixes, and i2cp updates.
[22:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, 2) transport futures
[22:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; I don't like our tcp transport. and our udp transport is disabled. and our phttp transport is tweaky.
[22:23] * jrand0m would like to see the tcp transport replaced with tls / ssl / some-other-standard
[22:24] &lt;Ophite1&gt; link-level encryption is a requirement?
[22:24] &lt;jrand0m&gt; absolutely.
[22:25] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tls is _hell_ though. ask openssl.
[22:25] &lt;tonious&gt; ssh?
[22:25] &lt;Ophite1&gt; that, too.
[22:25] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yeah, I followed the nasty discussions on the cryptography list last month, with interest.
[22:25] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ssh is definitely a possibility.
[22:26] &lt;jrand0m&gt; safe, too, since we already essentially have the certificates (in the RouterInfo.publicKey)
[22:26] &lt;Ophite1&gt; but we're in java. we'd have to code it ourselves? :/
[22:26] &lt;jrand0m&gt; naw, there are ssl, tls, and ssh java libs
[22:26] *** Signoff: nickthief60934 (Ping timeout)
[22:26] &lt;tonious&gt; There's already at least one java ssh client. Dunno about servers.
[22:26] &lt;Ophite1&gt; re: security of such libs, given numerous high profile holes in openssl, openssh, et al?
[22:27] &lt;jrand0m&gt; Ophite1&gt; most likely better than custom built code.
[22:27] &lt;jrand0m&gt; not that I have any reason to think there are exploits in the tcp transport as written.
[22:27] &lt;jrand0m&gt; but it has not been reviewed.
[22:28] *** nickthief60934 (~chatzilla@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:28] &lt;jrand0m&gt; in any case, updating the transports isn't really on deck until january (after the 0.3 release goes out)
[22:28] &lt;jrand0m&gt; but if anyone wants to look into it and do some research, that'd be great
[22:29] &lt;TC&gt; how many devs do we have activly coding?
[22:29] &lt;dm&gt; 1! :)
[22:29] &lt;jrand0m&gt; you can see who commits via (Link: http://i2p.dnsalias.net/pipermail/i2p-cvs/2003-November/thread.html)http://i2p.dnsalias.net/pipermail/i2p-cvs/2003-November/thread.html
[22:29] &lt;tonious&gt; But he's got the strength of ten men....
[22:30] &lt;jrand0m&gt; mihi has been cleaning up some of my messes, thankfully :)
[22:30] &lt;dm&gt; haha, it's all jrandom :)
[22:30] &lt;dm&gt; nice way of saying "just me"
[22:31] &lt;dm&gt; I noticed that about mihi, when he got involved in frazaa, he just showed up one day and started cleaning up my (horrid) java. It was quite entertaining.
[22:31] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh
[22:31] &lt;Ophite1&gt; people like that are very, very useful :)
[22:32] &lt;jrand0m&gt; quite
[22:32] &lt;dm&gt; "who's writing all these catch statements who do nothing ;)" -mihi
[22:32] &lt;jrand0m&gt; d'oooh
[22:33] &lt;Ophite1&gt; it's cause of reminders like that the code won't get as bad as freenet (we hope?) :)
[22:33] &lt;jrand0m&gt; if in 5 years any of the current i2p code is still in use, I'll be shocked.
[22:34] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (it had better be ported into finely tuned ASM code by then!)
[22:34] * Ophite1 makes his "java implementation is just a prototype" speech
[22:34] &lt;dm&gt; well, if you're still working on it 4 years from now, I'll guarantee that It'll be in use 5 years from now :)
[22:34] &lt;TC&gt; heh, comment it out and leave it in place
[22:35] &lt;dm&gt; is there a link to see the source on the web? not just the changes.
[22:35] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yes dm, http://i2p.dnsalias.net/
[22:35] &lt;dm&gt; nm, found it.
[22:35] &lt;jrand0m&gt; :)
[22:35] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, 4) peer stats for selection
[22:36] &lt;jrand0m&gt; calling this a nebulus topic is one hell of an understatement.
[22:36] &lt;jrand0m&gt; doctoral theses could be written (and some have been) on how to choose what peers to use in an untrusted environment.
[22:36] &lt;dm&gt; public interface Job
[22:36] &lt;dm&gt; oops, meeting. Sorry didn't realize.
[22:37] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the good part is that half of our peer selection is already taken care of - the selection of peers to find other peers.
[22:37] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (thats the kademlia stuff)
[22:38] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the part thats left is the selection of peers to participate in tunnels, to route garlics, and to bounce replies through
[22:38] *** Signoff: dm (EOF From client)
[22:38] *** Signoff: TC (EOF From client)
[22:38] *** Signoff: leenookx (EOF From client)
[22:38] &lt;jrand0m&gt; what I'm thinking for 0.3 is just going to be a simple history of each peer, tested periodically
[22:39] *** TC (~TC@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:39] *** leenookx (~leenookx@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:39] &lt;jrand0m&gt; stats revolving around latency and uptime
[22:39] *** Signoff: soros (Client exiting)
[22:39] &lt;Ophite1&gt; suggest you be wary of including accurate information about bandwidth usage and latency in that stats.
[22:40] &lt;Ophite1&gt; as per my drunken questions.
[22:40] &lt;Ophite1&gt; perhaps a more indirect route, but it's an area that needs very careful, well considered attention.
[22:40] &lt;jrand0m&gt; hmm, with the intent of keeping the accurate info unknown, or to defeat predictabilities?
[22:40] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right
[22:41] &lt;jrand0m&gt; this discussion is for a release that won't go out until at least jan 1
[22:42] * jrand0m understands and agrees that we want to avoid the predictabilities
[22:42] &lt;jrand0m&gt; but I think we want to gather and use as accurate info as we can, /then/ adjust for entropy
[22:42] &lt;Ophite1&gt; mere entropy alone may not be enough.
[22:43] &lt;Ophite1&gt; but, I need more research on this :/
[22:43] &lt;jrand0m&gt; true - randomly deciding to garlic route a message rather than tunnel route it, or to use a sequence of tunnels instead of one directly, etc
[22:44] &lt;jrand0m&gt; no rush, just wanted to plant the subject in the minds of those out there :)
[22:44] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, 4) apps
[22:45] &lt;Ophite1&gt; been troubling me for a week or more; though, I'm happy to announce I've run into a brick wall so far :)
[22:45] &lt;jrand0m&gt; w00t :)
[22:45] &lt;Ophite1&gt; inclusion of accurate or accurate+some%entropy statistics may make some attacks work though.
[22:46] &lt;TC&gt; oh, before apps i have a question
[22:46] &lt;jrand0m&gt; well, its always easy enough to simply discard accurate info as necessary
[22:46] *** Signoff: nickthief60934 (Excess Flood)
[22:46] &lt;jrand0m&gt; sure tc, whats up?
[22:46] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (stats will also (hopefully) make it easier to debug the network's operation while in development)
[22:46] &lt;TC&gt; when are manditory minium hop counts (or something like it) going to start?&gt;
[22:47] *** nickthief60934 (~chatzilla@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:47] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right now the default minimum tunnel length is one non-local hop
[22:47] *** dm (~sd@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[22:47] * TC didnt know that
[22:48] &lt;Ophite1&gt; which is okay as long as the non-local hop doesn't KNOW it's the only non-local hop.
[22:48] &lt;jrand0m&gt; that will be up'ed to 2-4 once things are more reliable
[22:48] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right Ophite1
[22:48] &lt;Ophite1&gt; still one better than a gnunet shortcut, so it's cool :)
[22:48] &lt;TC&gt; oh, and how do speed improvements look?
[22:48] * jrand0m is basing that 2-4 # on o-r comments
[22:49] &lt;Ophite1&gt; temporary stats for network testing are okay by me, and very useful, but please bear in mind they may be a dangerous feature for production anonymity.
[22:49] &lt;jrand0m&gt; hmm, speed improvements will come through more reliable and faster peer selections, which is the 0.3 release
[22:49] &lt;dm&gt; jeez, I forgot how jr's code looks like it was written by a robot.
[22:49] &lt;dm&gt; Hmmm, that would explain a lot.
[22:50] &lt;Ophite1&gt; and through more scalable routing, which is next weeks' :)
[22:50] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh sorry dm, I'll try to be more inconsistent ;)
[22:50] &lt;Ophite1&gt; (did I just mean discovery?)
[22:50] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right, its discovery, not routing, really.
[22:51] &lt;jrand0m&gt; i2p is scale free for normal comm.
[22:51] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (and o(log(n)) for discovery)
[22:51] &lt;TC&gt; i think your average ai who lives on the net would be pro i2p, what do you think dm?
[22:52] &lt;dm&gt; I think the average method size in this code is the smallest I've ever seen is what I think.
[22:53] &lt;Ophite1&gt; dm: clean. very good for a proto :)
[22:53] &lt;dm&gt; Do you comment as you go or do you go back and put those descriptions?
[22:53] &lt;jrand0m&gt; I comment when I get confused
[22:54] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (I really can't wait until collections are typesafe)
[22:54] &lt;jrand0m&gt; but, yeah, 4) apps :)
[22:54] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (unless anyone else has router / network questions?)
[22:55] &lt;TC&gt; pnope
[22:55] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, wiht isn't here, anyone else have any naming service thoughts / comments (mrecho?)
[22:55] &lt;TC&gt; a distributed naming server?
[22:56] &lt;dm&gt; is wiht ever here?
[22:56] &lt;tonious&gt; It could probably just sit on top of IDN.
[22:56] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yeah, I'd really love to see the naming service be a dht (perhaps reusing the idn / kademlia code) containing CA signed entries
[22:56] &lt;TC&gt; did co die?
[22:56] &lt;jrand0m&gt; exactly tonious
[22:57] &lt;jrand0m&gt; perhaps you're right, it could be an app that /uses/ idn, not just uses the code. hmmm...
[22:57] &lt;jrand0m&gt; that'd be Good.
[22:57] &lt;tonious&gt; Mebbe have a key fingerprint associated in case of collisions.
[22:57] &lt;jrand0m&gt; naw, co/wiht is around every few days
[22:57] &lt;tonious&gt; Wouldn't even necessarily need a centralized CA?
[22:57] &lt;jrand0m&gt; we'd need a CA if nyms are unique.
[22:58] &lt;Ophite1&gt; The CA signing chain should elminiate collisions.
[22:58] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (and we need nyms to be unique to do naming, really)
[22:58] &lt;Ophite1&gt; of course this makes CA key very important.
[22:58] &lt;TC&gt; how about dys dns? can i make my host file redirect to a eepsite?
[22:59] &lt;tonious&gt; TC: Not really. The OS doesn't even see i2p.
[22:59] &lt;jrand0m&gt; though we could have $nym.$ca be the thing looked up for
[22:59] &lt;Ophite1&gt; perhaps so important we want to distribute trust by it signing some second level .*.i2p domains, and have virtually all stuff under that, *.*.i2p - i.e., jrand0m.nym.i2p
[22:59] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right, though with tusko's ppp2p we can get i2p to IP mappings
[23:00] &lt;tonious&gt; I dunno. The idea of a CA in an essentially distributed system disagrees with me.
[23:00] &lt;tonious&gt; Not bein' a developer though I'm not gonna make a fuss :)
[23:01] &lt;TC&gt; dns really isnt that importent
[23:01] &lt;jrand0m&gt; tonious&gt; we can do a web of trust, essentially. with, say, 8 seperate known CAs, everyone's local name server knows about those 8, and each of them manages a subdomain (e.g. tc.ca1 or Nightblade.ca2, or we add a .i2p at the end)
[23:01] &lt;Ophite1&gt; if you can think of a better way?
[23:02] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; i have another question - its sort of spans the network-application area.
[23:02] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (thats really the degenerate case of a WoT)
[23:02] &lt;Ophite1&gt; what I said, sort of - get a root key to sign domains...
[23:02] &lt;jrand0m&gt; agreed tc
[23:02] &lt;jrand0m&gt; fire away Nostradumbass
[23:02] &lt;Ophite1&gt; someone gets com.i2p or nym.i2p...
[23:02] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; has any thought been goven to guaranteed latency?
[23:02] &lt;Ophite1&gt; allow them to sign jrand0m.nym.i2p, or whatever.
[23:02] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; i'm thinking of VoIP.
[23:03] &lt;jrand0m&gt; Ophite1&gt; we wouldn't even need a .i2p key with that
[23:03] &lt;tonious&gt; Ophite1: What if the com ca gets taken out by an RIAA hitsquad or something?
[23:03] &lt;jrand0m&gt; Nostradumbass&gt; you mean VoI2P? :)
[23:03] &lt;Ophite1&gt; then once you're done, destroy the master CA.
[23:03] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; yes
[23:03] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: then there's still the others.
[23:04] &lt;Ophite1&gt; or some system that requires conspiring groups to get the nym signing key?
[23:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; Nostradumbass&gt; we have already had people run shoutcast streams over i2p with some buffering at 96khz and no buffering problems at less speed. but there's latency.
[23:04] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; with the upcoming release of cryptophone's (Link: http://www.cryptophone.de/)http://www.cryptophone.de/ source it could make an interesting app for i2p.
[23:04] &lt;Ophite1&gt; and a really freakin' big hashcash?
[23:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; definitely Nostradumbass
[23:04] &lt;tonious&gt; Ophite1: Mebbe a majority signing protocol?
[23:04] *** Signoff: dm (Ping timeout)
[23:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; tonious&gt; majority is dangerous with sybil
[23:05] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: otoh, it HAS to be non-repudiatory, and has to be able to guarantee non-collision.
[23:05] &lt;Ophite1&gt; and majority couldn't do that.
[23:05] &lt;Ophite1&gt; a majority of well known users maybe.
[23:05] &lt;Ophite1&gt; if it's a consolation, the internet has problems with this too (think Verisign).
[23:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right, WoT :)
[23:06] &lt;Ophite1&gt; but then WoT means that different people might have different ideas of who to trust, which violates non-collision maybe?
[23:06] *** thecrypto (~thecrypto@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; Nostradumbass&gt; now if we could get some coders to work on a high performance RTSP over i2p tunnel... ;)
[23:06] &lt;Ophite1&gt; it's important, given the length of an "I2P address", but also hard.
[23:06] *** Drak0h (~Dr4k0h@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:07] &lt;Ophite1&gt; Nostradumbass: not guaranteed.
[23:07] &lt;TC&gt; so how do we secure alias identification (important for commerce and seting up multiple eepsites)?
[23:07] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; over-provisioning of bandwidth is often the only simple way to try and guarantee latency. is there going to ba any way for a node to determine the available bandwidht at another node, so as to ease routing for VoIP apps?
[23:07] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yes Nostradumbass, QoS can be done transparently within i2p, but unfortunately thats (I hate saying this) &gt; 1.0
[23:07] &lt;tonious&gt; Say we take root CAs out of it. You generate your key and sign your aliases.
[23:08] *** Signoff: thecrypto (EOF From client)
[23:08] &lt;Ophite1&gt; Nostradumbass: also, troublesome re some potential attacks?
[23:08] &lt;tonious&gt; You also specify who's keys you trust, ala PGP. I think redundancy is more important than collision.
[23:08] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: so which jrand0m.nym.i2p did you want again?
[23:08] * jrand0m attacks the ns dht to get my nym back
[23:08] &lt;Ophite1&gt; if everyone doesn't trust the same, we might not be referring to the same thing when we use the same name.
[23:09] &lt;Ophite1&gt; and it would probably allow freenet-KSK-style collision wars.
[23:09] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right. either the naming service has CA signed nyms, or it just distributes H(destination) --&gt; destination mappings
[23:09] &lt;tonious&gt; Just pop up a menu or something. Or if you're designing an application that talks to a specific server, give it the public key of the signing agent?
[23:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (and H(destination) == 42 chars as opposed to ~500 chars for a destination)
[23:10] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: if you're going to give it public keys, you might as well just sling around I2P addresses.
[23:10] &lt;Ophite1&gt; now that's an interesting ideal
[23:10] &lt;Ophite1&gt; assuming sha-256 can't be reversed that yields 256-bit I2P addresses that could be "looked up" to reveal the structure.

[23:11] &lt;Ophite1&gt; I smell kademlia again.
[23:11] &lt;jrand0m&gt; :)
[23:11] &lt;Ophite1&gt; It can also be simply checked.
[23:11] &lt;jrand0m&gt; and there's existing code to reuse.
[23:11] &lt;Ophite1&gt; somehow, that makes sense. why weren't we doing this already? :)
[23:11] &lt;jrand0m&gt; because we want nyms
[23:12] &lt;Ophite1&gt; nyms for hosts?
[23:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; but, I suppose, 42 chars is a good enough starting point
[23:12] &lt;Ophite1&gt; need a root CA for that :/
[23:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right
[23:12] &lt;Ophite1&gt; in the case where you don't want to trust a root ca?
[23:12] &lt;Ophite1&gt; 42 chars is short enough to paste.
[23:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; you don't need a root CA, you can have a forest instead of a tree
[23:12] &lt;Ophite1&gt; 520 chars isn't :)
[23:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh
[23:13] &lt;Ophite1&gt; but if you have a forest, how does anyone know which tree you're talking about?
[23:13] &lt;Ophite1&gt; you could slap a key in there, but then, ooh, we've got huge strings of random garbage again.
[23:13] &lt;jrand0m&gt; common suffix. $nym.$ca
[23:13] &lt;Ophite1&gt; well, I'd like $nym.$ca.i2p :)
[23:13] &lt;Ophite1&gt; avoid confusion :)
[23:13] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right. I mean, there are possible attacks. I dunno. I'm with TC though
[23:13] &lt;jrand0m&gt; good 'nuff for me
[23:14] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, /other/ apps :)
[23:14] &lt;Ophite1&gt; how do you know which ca is which?
[23:14] &lt;Ophite1&gt; you have a list? what signs the list?
[23:14] &lt;jrand0m&gt; i2pns.config
[23:14] *** Signoff: Drak0h (Ping timeout)
[23:14] &lt;Ophite1&gt; how're you going to get that?
[23:14] &lt;TC&gt; if i could make my own dns list, hostfile style i would be happy
[23:14] &lt;jrand0m&gt; on install
[23:15] &lt;Ophite1&gt; how are you going to verify those are the "right" keys?
[23:15] &lt;Ophite1&gt; ca substitution?
[23:15] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right tc, we can even do that without any distributed naming service
[23:15] &lt;TC&gt; because i say they are Ophite1
[23:15] &lt;jrand0m&gt; Ophite1&gt; you aren't, any more than you're verifying that the source code is running the "real" i2p
[23:15] &lt;TC&gt; and if you trust me, you can download them off my eepsite
[23:16] &lt;Ophite1&gt; I suppose at the end of the day you can only reduce that to trust in one key being right, so :)
[23:16] &lt;Ophite1&gt; works for me, yeah.
[23:16] &lt;Ophite1&gt; as long as I get o1.i2p ;)
[23:16] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh
[23:17] &lt;tonious&gt; Hmm. Revised threshold scheme: Each CA works the entire namespace, but a majority of CAs must agree before handing out subspace?
[23:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, last I heard tusko had found a way to get the ppp2p to run off windows machines as well as *nix
[23:17] &lt;TC&gt; it would make the i2p\internet doman system much more community based if we all passed around a huge hostfile\cheat sheet
[23:17] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: back to majority again...
[23:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; scary for attacks tonious
[23:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; thats true TC
[23:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (and the value of such a community should not be underestimated)
[23:18] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tc: arpanet stylee?
[23:18] &lt;tonious&gt; Sigh. :)
[23:18] &lt;Ophite1&gt; I guess seeds have gotta come from somewhere, so yeah ;)
[23:18] &lt;TC&gt; to get a domain name, you would say this is me, and if people agreed they would change the file, and if they where trusted, others would download updates
[23:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; sounds like that'd be a heavily retrieved key from idn :)
[23:19] &lt;Ophite1&gt; smells vaguely ca-like too :)
[23:19] &lt;TC&gt; you could even have a fight, with more then one file
[23:19] &lt;Ophite1&gt; the fidonet nodelist!
[23:19] &lt;tonious&gt; And in case of a netsplit there'd be multiple patchfiles.
[23:19] &lt;Ophite1&gt; ...doesn't scale.
[23:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; with under a few hundred domains, its maintainable manually
[23:20] &lt;TC&gt; after a few hundred you go trusted
[23:20] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right Ophite1. this would just be until we argue out the Right Way.
[23:20] &lt;tonious&gt; It might be enough to jumpstart a WoT.
[23:20] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (or we convince people that CAs aren't that bad ;)
[23:20] &lt;jrand0m&gt; true tonious
[23:20] &lt;Ophite1&gt; if you're trusting someone to agree that someone is someone else, that's a CA, not just a nodelist :)
[23:21] &lt;tonious&gt; Heh. Sorry for bein' the skeptic.
[23:21] &lt;TC&gt; jrand0m, in the end i dont whant to be dependent on CA's
[23:21] &lt;Ophite1&gt; just allow people to give space below theirs...
[23:21] &lt;Ophite1&gt; castyle -- and those on the nodelist to be the cas.
[23:21] &lt;Ophite1&gt; course then it's all "which ca is jrand0m on?"
[23:21] &lt;jrand0m&gt; CA's aren't necessarily choke points. if they're unsatisfactory, we replace them.
[23:22] &lt;tonious&gt; Ophite1: I like that.
[23:22] &lt;Ophite1&gt; point. CA being crapped out would be Big Enough News for someone to simply replace them.
[23:22] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: so is it slashdot.org or slashdot.com? goatse.cx? :)
[23:22] &lt;dm&gt; what does CA stand for? :)
[23:22] &lt;Ophite1&gt; certification authority.
[23:23] &lt;dm&gt; k, thanks.
[23:23] &lt;tonious&gt; Heh. That's where your own WoT comes in, Ophite1.
[23:23] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: yes, but I still have to see goatse once before I realise it's the wrong bloody one. :)
[23:23] &lt;tonious&gt; 'I trust Ophite1 not to show that horrible asshole, and he signed slashdot.org'
[23:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; lol
[23:24] &lt;Ophite1&gt; so essentially you're trusting a limited subset of people, not to be horrible assholes.
[23:24] * jrand0m reserves the right to be an asshole at times
[23:24] &lt;Ophite1&gt; and to hand out domains to the rest.
[23:24] &lt;Ophite1&gt; at least one of which ought, really, to be a trent-style first-comes-first-served bot.
[23:24] &lt;Ophite1&gt; (with.. yes... hashcash.)
[23:24] &lt;tonious&gt; Yeah. And there may be namespace collisions by people who are outside my WoT...
[23:25] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yup, and another should be something like thetower's tfee/subpage redirects
[23:25] &lt;Ophite1&gt; tonious: something that you can actually USE might be appreciated. it's just a naming system. :)
[23:25] &lt;tonious&gt; Heh.
[23:25] &lt;Ophite1&gt; the good thing about multiple cas is that they can do their own thing re: that kind of thing - different policies.

[23:32] &lt;tonious&gt; :(
[23:32] &lt;Ophite1&gt; i2p needs a good logo.
[23:32] &lt;Nostradumbass&gt; yes
[23:32] &lt;Ophite1&gt; I mean, the internet doesn't have a logo, but that's just bad marketing. :)
[23:32] &lt;dm&gt; I like the one on the WIKI.
[23:32] &lt;TC&gt; also, each made-for-i2p program needs its own tweeked version, or take off of the logo

[23:34] &lt;tonious&gt; I like the one on the top. It's simple. Like me.
[23:34] &lt;Ophite1&gt; with the arc design.
[23:35] &lt;Ophite1&gt; something that is small, very simple, and above all would work well as an icon, or in the system tray :)
[23:35] &lt;Ophite1&gt; and yes, which can be customised and used as a basis for logos of apps.
[23:35] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right
[23:35] &lt;dm&gt; How about a black circle with white fill.
[23:35] &lt;Ophite1&gt; that arc would be a good start (colour changes?)
[23:35] &lt;dm&gt; or a triangle, maybe a square!
[23:35] &lt;dm&gt; a parallelogram!
