In all seriousness, NFTs are an abstraction layer nobody needs. Just set up a legal entity for the project and accept donations.

In fairness, if you had told me six years ago the US would have had a president that is a former reality tv star, a riot started by that president's supporters, and people during a modern pandemic screaming st how basic health and safety measures were impeding on their feedomd I would have told you to try being a little more realistic when writing your dystopian opening to a cyberpunk setting. Yet here we are. I hadn't commented on this before now because I wasn't sure if it was someone beig sincere or just yanking our collective chain for a laugh. My kingdom for sarcasm tags goes the refrain that's existed for the past forty years. Jun 17, 2021 12:22:54 PM The Doctor <drwho at virtadpt.net>: > > ???????

I think it's a great idea, but only if we agree to sell it with a link that only works for 35 seconds then becomes more useless than it was in the first place.

I still think my plan to buy all the domains that host NFT resources and have them respond to all requests with goatse is a genius idea. ~nytpu -- Alex // nytpu alex at nytpu.com gpg --locate-external-key alex at nytpu.com Key fingerprint: 43A5 890C EE85 EA1F 8C88 9492 ECCD C07B 337B 8F5B https://useplaintext.email/

Surely having a tshirt capable of presenting the whole protocol is more interesting than an NFT? A limited run (all in black) of 1 million, try buying all of them! :) June 19, 2021 4:48 PM, "Alex // nytpu" <alex at nytpu.com> wrote: > On 2021-06-19 11:20AM, K?vin wrote: > >> I think it's a great idea, but only if we agree to sell it with a link >> that only works for 35 seconds then becomes more useless than it was >> in the first place. > > I still think my plan to buy all the domains that host NFT resources and > have them respond to all requests with goatse is a genius idea. > > ~nytpu > > -- > Alex // nytpu > alex at nytpu.com > gpg --locate-external-key alex at nytpu.com > Key fingerprint: 43A5 890C EE85 EA1F 8C88 9492 ECCD C07B 337B 8F5B > https://useplaintext.email

I like that! With a GPG public key barcode on the label one could additionally implement Tshirt Layer Security (Ill get my coat....). Lets not get into folding techniques in order to improve compression, we can leave that to the client.... FYI, HSBXL does very nicely at events when they sell their tshirt with the inscription: ``` Ceci n?est pas une | ``` June 20, 2021 2:28 PM, "Stephane Bortzmeyer" <stephane at sources.org> wrote: > On Sun, Jun 20, 2021 at 12:11:37PM +0000, > indieterminacy at libre.brussels <indieterminacy at libre.brussels> wrote > a message of 28 lines which said: > >> having a tshirt capable of presenting the whole protocol > > That's a very good idea.

That would be pretty cool. That's up there was a data format spec fitting onto a business card or RSA in a .signature file.

Of course, each month one could (democratically) 'select' a Gemini implementation/improvement (character permitting), for creation as a tshirt, with the maximum run being 1965. It could provide a polite mechanism for informally recognising positive developments, if not community milestones. Naturally, it could also create a bit of pocket money to support Gemini endeavours.

> With a GPG public key barcode on the label one could additionally implement Tshirt Layer Security (Ill get my coat....). Reminds me of the the Munition T-Shirt that protested the (frankly stupid) encryption export laws in the US. (By the way, those are partially still in place...) => http://www.cypherspace.org/adam/shirt/uk-shirt.html The munition T-shirt tl;dr the shirt had a 3 line implementation of the RSA algorithm on it as a Perl one-liner and a machine readable barcode representing that same program. Technically, under the law at the time (circa 1996), that made the shirt a "munition". No, I'm not kidding and yes it was stupid. If you tried to sell that shirt outside of the US or even simply showed it to a 'foreign national', you could be jailed for up to 10 years and/or fined up to $1,000,000. It would be neat to have some sort of shirt that had a machine-readable minimal gemini server (or client) printed on it, but I think the TLS requirement would make that nearly impossible (max bytes for a QR code is ~4k).
Noice! As an aside, since 1994, the UK is covered by legislation prohibiting: ``` "sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats." ``` => https://www.vice.com/en/article/78ab5d/warp-25-autechre-anti-ep In response, the Manchester b-boys, Autechre, released an EP, Anti,which bore the following on its sleevenotes, to circumvent the anti-rave legislation: ``` Warning. Lost and Djarum contain repetitive beats. We advise you not to play these tracks if the Criminal Justice Bill becomes law. Flutter has been programmed in such a way that no bars contain identical beats and can therefore be played under the proposed new law. However, we advice DJs to have a lawyer and a musicologist present at all times to confirm the non-repetitive nature of the music in the event of police harassment. ``` Additionally, I recently successfully fought a local Belgian council, concerning their bureaucratic practices - which stipulated risks of imprisonment for 6 months and fines of 200 Belgian Francs (even though the Euro killed that currency ~ 20 years ago). The reason for this? This was their procedure for a 30 EUR expense form in Lieu of me reading Green Eggs and Ham at THEIR childrens literary festival. They even relented concerning the need to provide my adress, date of birth, banking details AND written signature unencrypted via classic email (FFS) - if only I could have sent them a tshirt instead!

It still sucks to do the paperwork but it's 10 pages now and not 120 and a bunch of phone calls with the State Department. > tl;dr the shirt had a 3 line implementation of the RSA algorithm on it > as a Perl one-liner and a machine readable barcode representing that > same program.

That was around the time that 2600 was also selling t-shirts that had the functional diagram for DES to whoever had $25us to spend. :) > It would be neat to have some sort of shirt that had a machine-readable > minimal gemini server (or client) printed on it, but I think the TLS > requirement would make that nearly impossible (max bytes for a QR code > is ~4k).
