@i @p @pernia oh okay yeah typical registrar stuff
disappointing to see that from porkbun. namecheap did that to us, but, yknow, namecheap
should only be whatever time it takes to transfer the domain then -

@p @i @pernia you can force them to after some time - or at least, that's what the ICANN rules say
of course, they can be shits about it but -

@p @i @pernia don't see why it wouldn't, the transfer policy has no language mentioning specific TLDs

@feld okay so your idea of a bitcoin network that works well is one in which the majority of hash rate is controlled by state actors and in which NATO, SCO and some other loosely defined block somehow all control 33% roughly and for some reason are incapable of changing this balance of control and thus can't ever reliably perfom censorship (unless of course they agree to in specific cases) -

@feld considering the inequalities amongst state actors in terms of ability and desire to comandeer resources for the purposes of participating in a project whose stated goal is the obsolescence of fiat money (regardless of the logic or feasibility of this task), it would be outright fucking magical to discover that the hash rate is evenly distributed amongst all state actors -

@feld i mean for my point it doesn't really matter who most miners are. either one of two scenarios exist: mining hash rate is distributed and thus the majority of hash rate is subject to economic requirements or it's not distributed because of state actors and a minority with access to free energy and the bitcoin network is compromised and worthless as a censorship resistant payment system -

@feld if not in dollars, in any other fiat currency, that doesn't change anything. as to the other point, either a prohibitive share of hashing rate has been concentrated in the hands of the few actors who have no monetary prospects to worry about or they are a insignificant fraction - most miners do have to pay for cooling, warehousing, eletricty, hardware, initial outlay, etc -

@feld guess it'll hold forever then - even if they hold short term in hopes of cashing in an appreciation of bitcoin's price, miners have costs that are not paid in bitcoin, but in dollars -

@feld 51% of the users or of the miners - because for the miners it just eventually will make economic sense - the overwhelming majority of their profits come from the coinbase reward and not transaction fees -

@nolasco @nukie @colonelj @NEETzsche @errante @mint @bot @Tij my point is that the only reason you know you'd want to keep me away from children is because i talk openly about the things i believe, because you cannot actually do anything to harm me
let's assume a worst case scenario: a pedophile comes to your town. they meet you, the watcher of children, who decides who gets to be in the room with them or not apparently. they hear you talking about how you think pedophiles should be placed into woodchippers. they're intelligent, so they know if they tell you they are one, you might kill them, or at least shun them from the town, and they'd lose their chance to do what they want to do - let's assume that's offend, since you cannot conceive of a person who has self control. congratulations, you have now created a scenario where you only find out about the child-diddler *after* they've touched your children
if you don't actively think people should be instantly ostracised and killed for being a particular way or having some desires, they might be more upfront about it, and you would then be more capable of protecting the children
when you loudly broadcast what someone has to say in order to fly under your radar, it's easy to fly under your radar -

@nolasco @nukie @colonelj @NEETzsche @errante @mint @bot @Tij
>you're just saying if i'm outright about killing pedos they won't reveal themselves to me. i'll have a new pedo cockroach infestation brewing up under my feet based on the desirability of the children in my society and then i can only be reactive when they touch them
exactly, yeah, and that it's clearly more important to you to feel secure in your moral principles than follow whichever path might lead to less abused kids
you don't think the values of a society should "tolerate this behaviour" - what behaviour? posting online about being a pedo? how much effort should we devote to removing internet access from people who post about that? do you reckon we should pull resources from the departments busting down actual cp sites, or from elsewhere else? -

@NEETzsche @nukie @colonelj @errante @mint @bot @Tij okay, we can discuss this
gross i can understand very easily yeah. immoral, on its own? like, being one, even if non offending?
i really would disagree with the notion that people talking about it leads itself to harm. should i push them all to their own secret matrix rooms where they can presumably plan how to cause harm with no public scrutiny? -

@NEETzsche @nukie @colonelj @errante @mint @bot @Tij okay, but why? what would that accomplish? i do not actually think that would lead to anyone being safer. again, if pedophiles *inherently* represent a danger to children, what does forcing them into spaces where no one can see what they say do? -

@NEETzsche @nukie @colonelj @errante @mint @bot @Tij aha. but it's not immoral to me, and the word "degenerate" is not a term i respect, because it signals to me the other person doesn't have any principles other than "i don't like that and the world should be like i want it to be"
