[Paul Bame]

Guessing most folks missed this generous offer in IRC, but it may be worth
someone (probably not me) following up on:

(11:28:41 AM) paulbame: runesadvice: maybe ask your question?  someone may answer, or may answer later (several folks run caching irc proxies I think)

(11:32:24 AM) runesadvice: ... substantial exposure to network outages, or government interference.
(11:32:50 AM) runesadvice: I ended up developing a protocol which was self-organising, and failure resilient.
(11:33:20 AM) runesadvice: It explicitly eschewed centralised systems, and even human interaction insofar possible.
(11:33:35 AM) runesadvice: Now you guys may have all solved all these things for yourselves - I don't know.

(12:59:04 PM) bcduggan [~bcduggan at 64.124.162.98] entered the room.
(01:07:30 PM) paulbame: runesadvice: I think the answer is that folks would like to know more, and this isn't a real good way to reach them unfortunately.  I'll paste your intro into an email to the list and cc you if you want to share your email address  ?
(01:11:04 PM) runesadvice: OK, sure.  advice at csmctmto.bizfu.net
