lain_soykaf Sorry for being out of the loop, is that discussion forum online by now?
# rigelk[m] lain_soykaf (IRC): it is, but I haven't seen any announce about it. There is a thread listing things to do before announcing on it, so that is probably still on hold.
# lain_soykaf rigelk[m]: where is it again?
# rigelk[m] lain_soykaf (IRC): https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/
# lain_soykaf thanks!

jaywink[m] hides socialhome
# cjslep[m] Is there an easy way I can file a bug?
# cjd_ cwebber2: hey, in a bout of insomnia the other night, I might have kind of accidently designed a technique for making blockchain transactions cheap enough that miners will generally just allow them to be included for free... Might be useful for being able to transfer stamps...
# cjd_ Not just transactions of a particular crypto, but in fact any "thing" which you identify as having value and having a key that owns it... you can transfer it to someone else using this system
# cjd_ I thought this idea might be useful to stamps
# cjd_ 2 solutions: 1. it's pretty scalable 2. "for free" is kind of a trick, it's cheap enough that it's reasonable to think about miners offering it for free to Legitimate Usage
# cjd_ I'm writing up a little pad about it now
# cjd_ But like the reason why it stinks to make a token on top of ethereum is because you have to pay ether to do anything with it - whereas most tiny cost things on the internet are operated as public services... so I got to thinking "why shouldn't a blockchain offer a public service?"
# jaywink[m] > <@cjslep:feneas.org> Is there an easy way I can file a bug?
# jaywink[m] for socialhome? https://git.feneas.org/jaywink/federation/issues
# jaywink[m] but I'm going to add some json-ld library anyway, so that might just resolve things
# cjslep[m] OK, glad to hear jaywink !
# cjd_ The problem with a lot of this pre-bitcoin stuff is that if you have enough central control for the server to be able to steal someone's money, you're going into dangerous territory WRT financial regulation
# cjd_ You risk ending up classified as a custodian
# cjd_ I think wowgold and such do ok because lawyers and also they are explicitly saying you're not supposed to exchange it, it's just that people do (darn them)

# melody i read over that, something about it doesn't feel right -- can't put my finger on it yet, but i have that itchy feeling i tend to get when i know i've made a mistake in the design of something -- it's possible the hole is in my understanding and not in your design, but i can't shake the feeling that something feels wrong
