What I'm after is a way to get away from polling by server name. With a sufficiently interested audience I ought to be able to be offline except when I need to update the merkle root, meanwhile users can just serve the content to each other.
- inigyou 17d agoDo you know Zooko's triangle?
- __MatrixMan__ 16d agoYes. I don't think human meaningful identifiers are important. We can make do with local pet names, like how Unison works. We hardly even use the globally consistent names we have. Between humans its always "hey did you check out that website I sent you?" And never "hey did you check out https://foo.bar.biz https://foo.bar.biz" Sharing and endorsement can just be part of the protocol. My reference to the site may as well be in terms of which of my friends think its trustworthy so I'm better enabled to make that determination myself (some of my friends have better taste than others). Knowing that Alice.brownierecipe.2 and Bob.favoritebrownies refer to the same underlying document with an unfriendly global name is not so gnarly of a UX problem that we need to tolerate single points of failure to avoid it.
