Bullshit is an inverse PoW function, so I'm not going to comment on whatever the heck the above is. With one brief exception: everyone already knows my motives for being a cypherpunk developer; there's no murkiness there; it's literally stated on my personal website. I wish you luck finding a blockchain that's designed to be an economic experimentation vehicle, rather than a naming system, since it very much sounds like you're looking for the former, and Namecoin ain't it. Happy hacking.

Just to be clear, I am abrasive to everybody, and I appreciate the time you took responding. I remember chatting with you several years ago on Twitter and you were helpful and smart.

Nobody ever knows their own motives fully, and it's a good idea to examine them.

I'm not a hacker. I added the cf error blip just because it seems appropriate to mention when a network is flawed. Years ago I lived in a city with a newspaper that would hide certain kinds of comments, except from the person commenting. When people realized what the website was doing they began to joke about it until they stopped. Youtube has done the same to people, at least up to a few years ago. Once I posted a comment on the video of a political figure, and the comment was visible only on my computer. Other people have experienced the same on Youtube. Twitter is much more clever in accomplishing the same.

It's too bad there is no clean internet, no clean network connections, etc.

Namecoin is not on the path to solving that problem, but maybe it will go in that direction eventually.
