interesting/how to downlaod books from IRC.md

@@ -0,0 +1,65 @@
+
+
+I'm putting this together because I posted a while ago about using IRC to acquire ebooks on Reddit, and there was a metric shit ton of interest from others in learning how to do it. Much of this info is available on the net, but it can be difficult to track down if you don't know exactly what to look for.
+
+Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for how you choose to use this knowledge. This method can and should only be used to download legally available ebooks, as an alternative source in case other services go down for whatever reason. You use this guide at your own discretion.
+
+Now then, to the good stuff.
+
+Q&A
+
+    Question: Why should you use IRC to acquire ebooks, there are so many different ways to get them!
+
+Answer: IRC is the best method to find ebooks. The quality is almost always high, the selection is extensive, and finding and downloading the books is quick and easy. Put simply, unless you happen to have access to a private site exclusively made for ebooks, you probably won't find a better source.
+
+    Question: What do I need to make this happen?
+
+Answer: A IRC client (I'll be using mIRC for the purposes of this guide, it's the simplest to use and the most widely distributed as well. Besides that, the ability to copy and paste, and a bit of common sense.
+
+Setup
+
+    Now then, to begin, download a IRC client. I personally suggest mIRC.
+
+    Once you do that, install it and open the client up. You should be greeted with a page like This.
+
+    The first thing you want to do is write in a name that's unique enough to have not already been taken. For the purposes of this guide, I just choose something random.
+
+    Once that's done, you want to navigate down to "Ignore" section in the DCC options, and turn the box option to "disabled". This is to ensure that incoming files are not ignored, which is important if you actually want to receive your ebooks. Example
+
+    Next thing you want to do is scroll back up to the "Servers" tab and pick out a server. For ebooks, I know of two servers that host channels dedicated to ebook downloads. One is "Undernet", the other is "IRChighway". While both have their uses, IRChighway is the one you want to use 90% of the time. The selection is generally more robust, the channels are more stable, and the downloads are faster. You generally only want to use Undernet if you can't find the ebook you're looking for on IRChighway. Sometimes you can get lucky and one will have a book if the other does not. In any case, select you server by finding it in the drop down menu and double clicking it. Example
+
+Actually finding and downloading your ebooks
+
+6. Once you've done that, it'll take you back to the menu that I originally showed you. This time, click the connect button, and it'll connect you to the server and open a window offering you a chance to join a channel. Now, there are several channels you can join depending the server you're on. On Undernet, you can either go with "Bookz" or "ebooks", while on IRChighway, you can join "ebooks". Type in your channel and hit join. Example
+
+7. Once you've done that, you'll be presented with a channel window filled with a whole bunch of people typing in seemingly meaningless strings of text, none of them talking to one another. This can be intimidating, but don't worry, it's not hard to figure out! It's at this point that you need to know the commands to properly utilize the channels bots.
+
+8. When you join one of the channels I listed, there will be channel bots you'll use to interact with the bots that you will be downloading from. To access the commands for these bots, use the "@" symbol followed by the command you need.
+
+To search for an ebook, Use
+
+    @Search <book name or author name>
+
+This will have the channel bot automatically search through it's index and return you a listing of the books available from the download bots in the channel. It will look like this. As you can see, I searched for Romeo & Juliet, and the bot went through its index and returned a list of potential downloads. Click the accept button to have it download.
+
+9. Once you've done that, go into the upper portion of mIRC, click tools, and go to the "received files" drop down. Click it. Example
+
+10. This will open up your mIRC downloads folder, which should contain a .zip file of the list of download options that the bot sent you. Extract it and open it up in notepad. There will be a variety of download links available in many different formats. Find whichever book you're looking for, in whichever format you prefer (I like HTML because they're generally the best formatted and the format is universal for mobile devices) and copy the text string up til the the end of the file. Example
+
+11. Once you've done that, go back to the mIRC channel window and simply paste the text string into the channel. Example
+
+12. Click enter, and wait for the bot to respond, and then click accept when a file transfer window comes up. I've highlighted my download query, and the bots response with relevant information for you. It should be pretty self explanatory. Example
+
+13. And you're done! The file will be downloaded to your mIRC downloads folder in a zip or rar archive. Simply extract it and read it!
+
+Note 1: You can also use the command
+
+    @find <book or author name>
+
+To search for your ebook if the channel bot is down or not responding quickly to the @search command. However I do not suggest this, as it gives you a clusterfuck of responses in your IRC client as personal messages. It can work, but only as a last resort. Example
+
+Note 2: I've used the public domain "Romeo And Juliet" for the purposes of this guide. This book is in the public domain, and thus is not subject to any copyright. Once again, I encourage you to only download public domain books, but cannot control (and am not responsible) for what you wish to download.
+
+Note 3: Edit. Damnit, Reddit fucked the formatting and keeps renumbering my list. Whatever, not a big deal I guess. It doesn't change the content of the guide at all. Just go down the list, everything is in the proper order anyway.
+
+So, that's how you download ebooks off of IRC. Not so hard, is it? I hope you find this helpful, I promised this to more than a few people months ago, and I finally got around to it.

-# Ideas
-
-Notas e ideas sobre la futura guild.
-
-## Objetivos
-
-- Crear un espacio de libre comercio al margen del estado
-- Promover un sistema paralelo de:
-  - Registro de propiedad
-  - Resolucion de conflictos
-  - Sistema de identidad de personas fisicas y juridicas
-- Crear un walled garden con skin in the game que promueva el trust entre los miembros
-- Agrupar a gente con valores similares:
-  - Algun vinculo con Barcelona
-  - Soberania
-  - Libertad
-  - Capitalismo
-  - Individualismo
-  - Objetivismo
-  - Low-time preference
-  - Antidemocracia
-  - Privacidad
-  - Valores Cypherpunk
-- Y con virtudes 
-  - Decent net-worth
-  - Ganandose la vida en el sector privado
-  - Perfiles de alto valor profesional: emprendedores, gente formada, etc.
-
-## Tamaño
-
-- Hardcap a 100 miembros? Mil? Cuanto es demasiado?
-- Deberian ser todos los miembros iguales? Pueden haber categorias de miembros?
-- Como superar el bootstrap inicial? Cuando no hay socios, cuesta atraer a gente de calidad, pero si los primeros miembros no son de calidad, es dificil hacer la red atractiva
-
-
-## Democracia vs Dictadura
-
-Quien es el propietario de la guild? Quien tiene las riendas? Quien puede decidir? Quien puede expulsar?
-
-Dos planteamientos opuestos:
-- Asociacion
-  - una persona, un voto. 
-  - Se establece una constitucion basica que rige la gestion de la asociacion y los principios regulatorios mas inquebrantables. Esta constitucion deberia ser casi immutable (unanimidad absoluta o mayoria clamorosa para cambiarse).
-  - Se establecen cuerpos operativos para el trabajo, con miembros electos por los socios.
-  - Transparencia total en la gestion de cuentas.
-- Gestion privada (Dictadura benevolente, para entendernos): 
-  - una sola persona tiene el poder completo.
-  - La persona mantiene el control absoluto. Impone las normas segun le parece. Los miembros solo tienen el poder que les proporcione la dictadura 
-  - La buena fe y calidad del gobierno depende de cuanto de benevolo e ilustrado sea 
-
-Hay una fuerte relacion entre esto, el control de las claves PGP que identifican a la direccion y los canales de comunicacion, el control de las claves de BTC que regulan los depositos y el control de la infrastructura de IT que lo soporta todo. El derecho natural aplica, y la direccion de la guild, sea democratica o de gestion privada, debe proteger el control sobre estos elementos para garantizar su existencia y que no la tumben los barbaros, vengan de dentro o de fuera.
-
-Otras pregunta añadida: 
-- deberia la guild tener animo de lucro?
-- Que nivel de transparencia deberian tener las cuentas?
-
-## Identity and safety
-
-Cada individuo en el grupo necesita una identidad clara y reconocible cuando se comunica. Esto es un principio basico de cualquier marco regulador: sin la abstracion de la persona, no podemos montar nada.
-
-Por suerte, la solucion es facil: cada miembro debe tener una clave PGP que le permita firmar mensajes. Esa es su identidad y su firma. Sera un desafio de UX que la gente se tome con la gravedad necesaria la preservacion de sus claves. Probablemente habra que hacer trainings, y tenga sentido regular un USB con tails y una Yubikey/Nitrokey/Openkey.
-
-Las comunicaciones importantes deberian firmarse y encriptarse. Los contratos entre los miembros deberian firmarse con sus identidades para tener valor.
-
-
-## Servicios
-
-- Resolucion de conflictos, intermediacion en contratos y escrow
-- Acceso a infraestructura IT
-  - Lightning + LNBits
-  - BTCPayserver
-  - Electrum server + Bitcoin Core
-  - Comunicacion interna y videollamadas
-  - Custodia colaborativa
-- Servicio de asistencia en herencias
-- Servicio de asesoria fiscal (delegado en Jose Antonio Bravo)
-
-
-
-## Procesos, reuniones y ceremonias
-
-### Inclusion de nuevos miembros
-
-- Como seducir sin hacer proselitismos
-- Tiempos y pasos del proceso
-
-### Comunicaciones regulares
-
-Boletin mensual (deberiamos usar ciclos de bloques en lugar de mensuales?) con anuncios oficiales y anuncios de miembros
-- Nuevos miembros, bajas de miembros, penalizaciones, elevaciones publicas de contratos
-
-Cada boletin deberia ir firmado y con sus contenidos hasheados junto al hash del bloque correspondiente.
-
-Boletin anual (deberiamos usar ciclos de bloques en lugar de anuales?)
-
-### Cambio de normas
-
-- Consulta a los miembros
-- Debate publico
-- Anuncios finales
-- Ciclo mensual, anual y por epoch
-
-### Salida de miembros
-
-salidas voluntarias
-- Como evitar traiciones y denuncias de cara al estado?
-expulsiones
-
-### Proceso de multado
-
-- Como penar a alguien?
-  - Deberia la asociacion recaudar?
-  - Deberia repartir el dinero entre los miembros?
-  - Deberia quemarse el BTC mandandolo a una direccion aleatoria?
-
-## Infraestructura
-
-- Servidor de Git
-- Servidor de PGP?
-  - https://pks.sourceforge.net/
-- Algun tipo de servidor de identidad estilo LDAP/AD?
-- Repositorio estilo wiki y de documentos
-- Almacenamiento cloud encriptado para guardar claves de deposito y otros secretos
-- Nodo de lightning + LNBits o similar. Ecash mint el dia que la tecnologia y UX este mas madura.
-- BTCPayserver
-- Servidor de Jitsi
-- Servidor de Element/Mattermost/comunication channel. Hay que encontrar algo que sea criptograficamente solido como una piedra pero no tenga una experiencia de mierda. No pasa nada si necesita un servidor central.
-- Stacker.news? Algun sitio donde la gente pueda crear announcements
-
-Posibles providers de hosting:
-- 1984.hosting <- Strongest option due to track record and pricing
-- https://www.lunanode.com <- Interesting alternative. Not as cypherpunk, but more feature rich.
-- https://host4coins.net/
-- https://fort.pw/
-- https://njal.la/servers/
-
-
-## Problemas abiertos
-
-- Que hacer contra un chivato de cara al estado?
-- Que hacer en caso de que un miembro de la dictadura quede deshabilitado?
-- Planes de sucesion de los dictadores?
-
-## Otros
-
-- Tiempos en blocktimes
-  - 210,000: cuatro años
-  -  52,500: un año
-  -   4,375: un mes
-
-## GPG contracts
-
-trilema.com/2012/gpg-contracts/#selection-213.220-213.370
-
-My own summary:
-
-> it means a. an agreement b. reached by willing participants which c. shall be enforced against them.
-
-> The first contract ever entered into has the friction cost of explaining to everyone concerned or somehow coming into contact with its workings wtf a contract is and how it's to be used.
-
-There is a cost in creating contracts, because we need to educate the monkeys on how to use them. We will face that. We need to reduce the cost of teaching people how to sign a contract with PGP. We need them to fully understand PGP and have a proper setup to use it. We need them to know how to verify signatures and create the good habit of doing it instead of trusting.

-# Launch and first year plan
-
-## Goals
-
-- Achieve a small community of at least 20 people
-- Deploy fundamental infrastructure, run it successfully for one year
-- Learn and evolve from there
-
-## Motivation
-
-In a world of increasing authoritarianism and collectivism, some of us long for more freedom. Freedom to trade, transact and socialize, with no third parties stealing our wealth, imposing rules on us without our consent and violating our privacy.
-
-Governments force us to use their currencies. They tax our work, our property, our consumption, our capital, our deaths. They impose absurd rules on us for the benefit of their cronies and themselves. They restrict us to keep us under control. They threaten us with forced economic penalties, violence and social rejection.
-
-We want to do business freely. To flourish and prosper by working voluntarily for each other. To join likeminded, productive individuals towards a great future. To reach voluntary agreements with our peers, without forced third parties. To keep all the well-deserved fruits of our labours for ourselves. To choose our currencies and our rules.
-
-We don't want to bleed our value and energy to parasites by force. Nor to have violent third parties telling what we can or cannot voluntarily agree with others. Nor to be told that we need permission, licenses and blessings to run our businesses. 
-
-We don't want to wait for our masters to be gentle and compassionate. We will build ourselves the life we want.
-
-## Organization
-
-### What is lombra and why joining us
-
-lombra is a private union of free-trading bitcoiners and cypherpunks. Its goal is to create a space where its members can progress through true free trade.
-
-lombra is of private property, and is fully managed and ruled by the lombra board. 
-
-lombra is composed of members. Members of lombra pay a yearly fee and enjoy the services provided. They also commit to following certain rules to maintain their membership. 
-
-lombra is for-profit and invite-only. The lombra board charges for membership and for the provided services. It also determines who can or can't enter.
-
-lombra does not aim to become an all mighty service provider. Our humble aim is to act as a foundation and a safe space for our members. It is up to the members of lombra, and not its board, to do great things. We are simply creating a space where you can do them.
-
-By joining lombra, you are entering a network of powerful individuals. You can buy and sell. You can find partners and hire workers for your business. You can seek knowledge and advice. You can access escrow and mediation services for your trades. lombra provides identity, monetary and court systems to reduce friction and make all of this possible without state intervention. 
-
-
-### lombra board
-
-The lombra board is composed by three members. They own lombra. 
-
-The board has the following powers:
-- Decide who can join lombra, as well as expel any existing members.
-- Change and update the member rules of lombra.
-
-The board also has the following intentions:
-- To be clear, transparent and honest in its management and ruling.
-- To execute calm, thoughtful and long-term thinking governance.
-- To provide the best service to the members of lombra.

-
-The board meets monthly and communicates to the members through the monthly board announcements.
-
-Members can communicate with the board at any time through ???.
-
-### lombra members
-
-Members are the greatest thing of lombra. As a union, lombra is only as valuable as its members are. Interactions through members are the true outcome of lombra, and why it was created in the first place.
-
-Members of lombra are admitted on an invite-only basis and are picked carefully. There is no single definition of what a lombra member looks like, but here are some general pointers on what defines someone as an attractive member for lombra:
-- The member is aligned with freedom-respecting and capitalist ideologies, like libertarianism and classical liberalism, anarco capitalism, cypherpunkism, austrian economics or bitcoin maximalism.
-- The member rejects opossed ideologies like communism, fascism, socialism and social-democracy.
-- The member earns his living in the private sector.
-- The member respects private property, individual freedom, freedom of speech and the non-aggression principle.
-- The member is willing and eager to engage in trade and business with other like-minds in a private fashion, without concerns on whether his state allows the trade or the privacy of it.
-- The member rejects government fiat currencies and considers Bitcoin a superior form of money that leads to a better society.
-
-All members must have a PGP identity and be listed in the lombra directory.
