We will never be safe or at peace as long as zionists exist

The rampant Signal skepticism has to be a psyop, no way all of these bitcoiners are actually that retarded, right? right?
You should support (and hopefully eventually celebrate) ridding the world of zionists and similar genocidal scum.
zionists again bombing people in their tents, burning people alive...
Remember this the next time a zionist face a fraction of the justice they deserve.
Every single day a zionsist is committing an atrocity in the name of zionism, and people still humanise and accept them instead of treating them as the monestrous scum they are.
zionism is a nightmare. Sadistic insane group of monsters that we will never know peace until we get rid of them.

AI folks are so excited about the ghost in the machine, while I am desperate to find the machine in the ghost that is modern software.
I know it is frustrating when claims are challenged. But at the end of the day, other than taken offense and doing the Trump "wrong" meme... not a single line of code will be written, just saying words for the fun of it.
For everyone else who actually want a censorship resistant overlay network, they will be left with nothing but Mainline.
If I am disingenuous, while making my bet and working on it, what does make the rest who do nothing but making extra ordinary claims and have no interest to follow through?
You are confusing spam and DDoS. You are also confusing spam and capacity.
Anyway, 10 years from now Mainline will still be going strong, and you won't even know the name of the second best thing.
Interesting, what is your plan? How do you expect say a 100 nodes to serve the entire web, and fend of DDoS and be do all of that cheaply enough that they can keep running forever without churning?
Mitigated how?
Then it will never happen. Note that I also claim that it will be useless without large size DHT because a small DHT while maybe resistant to Sybil, is vulnerable to good old DDoS and just more likely to churn away and die, just like few relays are likely be discontinued.
Size really matters in a DHT, and you currently have zero nodes and headwinds ... research is just wasting time on the wrong thing when what you should be desperate for is scale.
Luckily, Mainline already exists.
did:plc is a shitcoin. Let me explain to you why.
On #Nostr, your public key is your user ID. On #Bluesky, although you have a public key, your real user ID is a did:plc.
To generate a did:plc, you must make a POST request to https://plc.directory/
Yes, https://plc.directory/ (the literal URL) is part of the protocol definition. They'll say it's not, but it is.
They'll say it's not, because theoretically you could run multiple plc.directory servers, and people could point at different ones. But there are big challenges around security and UX of that, and let's be real, Bluesky never intends to "fix" it (it's not broken).
Now, if we just put the whole thing on a blockchain that would totally solve that problem. But in fact, did:plc "does not make use of any blockchain". Because the accepted decentralized way to achieve this _would_ be to put it on a blockchain, so they had to make that qualifying statement against it.
So, they needed to use a blockchain, but they don't want to use a blockchain. So they invented their own blockchain: a regular webserver!
And they pretended their regular webserver was a blockchain. And this, is why did:plc is a shitcoin.
It is not just UX, if the plc directory censors your operations, you are screwed, and then people say oh but we can detect that and start using another registery, as if this is viable in practice, as if we couldn't in theory use a separate root servers than ICANN.
Who is going to build it if not you?
May we all live in uninteresting times, but this current type of interesting is not the worst.
The paper is older than Mainline itself, if it was worth the paper it was printed on, we would have had such DHT by now, Nostr didn't invent WoT... people had many trust networks a decade ago... amounted to nothing, and I bet this will never change.
No one seems to care about this thread... and rightfully so.
Apparently most devs, like me, don't care much about the opinion of idea guys who don't battle with reality, nor even care to be reasonable. Not being reasonable is usually afforded only by people who don't write code to face the consequences of their claims.
This is why they get under my skin :)
There are some papers on real-world MLDHT attacks i.e. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~lw525/publications/security.pdf
What's you opinion here? Are there known practical attacks, or is that a fud, or is that irrelevant, etc?
I spent like 5 seconds researching this so pardon my ignorance if it's a dumb question.
It is not a bad question. This paper is mentioned in our recent writeup about how we try to circumvent possible attacks aiming for censorship https://github.com/pubky/mainline/blob/main/docs/censorship-resistance.md
Long story short, an attacker can't create Sybil nodes to target only one key without us noticing and circumventing that.
An attacker can however create millions of Sybil nodes, uniformly distributed and now it is very very transparent and very very public, and even if we can't act to deal with that, then we can hope that they can only degrade the performance because honest nodes still slip through, and if they don't then we can just wait it out. It is an extreme attack and if it was feasible at all Mainline wouldn't have worked despite billion dollars companies having interest in disrupting it because it enables piracy.
