The typesetting is quite broken currently on this PR.

URLs are horizontally too long.

jamesray1 · 2018-01-30T11:10:40Z

Yes, hopefully #513 should fix that, once the issue is sorted out. However, the #420 PR would also fix this, but it shouldn't be needed if #513 can be resolved.

pirapira · 2018-01-30T11:21:24Z

@jamesray1 thank you for the explanation and your efforts.

jamesray1 · 2018-02-17T08:03:16Z

Fixed. Note that with #420 (which will work well) or #513 (which may need the latest version of texlive to work), URLs will look justified—they will go right to the edge of the margin.

jamesray1 · 2018-02-19T22:52:04Z

#420 (comment)

Anyway I don't think it's a good idea to add lots of links. Especially when it's unclear if the contents are distributed by the copyright holders.

Why not? You may as well make it easier for people to find the source of the material. Are there specific examples of where content is not permitted to be distributed by the copyright holders?

pirapira · 2018-02-20T11:25:58Z

@jamesray1 the problem is when the distributors don't have the rights.

jamesray1 · 2018-02-20T23:18:41Z

Yes I understand that, but do you have some specific examples of the URLs I'm including where the URL page is not by the copyright holder, or it doesn't have the rights?

https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/881.pdf should be fine, it's an academic paper submitted to Cryptology ePrint Archive.

https://www.iacr.org/archive/ches2004/31560117/31560117.pdf similarly as above, submitted in IACR Online Proceedings.

https://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/papers/karma.pdf is distributed by the university of the author.

http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~naor/PAPERS/pvp.pdf is a dead link, but is available at https://web.archive.org/web/20170810035254/http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~naor/PAPERS/pvp.pdf. A preliminary version of this paper was in Crypto '92. The email address in the paper for Naor is [email protected]. If the authors don't want the content on the Wayback Machine they could block it in their robots.txt.

http://nakamotoinstitute.org/bitcoin/: Satoshi Nakamoto Institute is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Some works may be subject to other licenses. Given the widespread distribution of the paper already I would be surprised if this paper is not in the public domain. I thought that the one from the Nakamoto Institute was the most appropriate as it has the date of publication, and is in colour.

http://www.coderblog.de/wp-content/uploads/technical-basis-of-digital-currencies.pdf. This is from Simon Sprankel's (the author's) blog.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0262407912601055 this is just a link to purchase the PDF.

https://github.com/OmniLayer/spec the license for this repo is the unlicense, putting it in the public domain.

jamesray1 · 2018-02-20T23:55:12Z

https://bitcoil.co.il/BitcoinX.pdf is on a defunct exchange. I will change the link to https://github.com/Colored-Coins/Colored-Coins-Protocol-Specification, which is fine to cite. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AnkP_cVZTCMLIzw4DvsW6M8Q2JC0lIzrTLuoWu2z1BE/edit#! also links to it.

jamesray1 · 2018-02-21T00:13:37Z

https://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319040158 is just a link to buy the book.

Additionally if the original authors did not want it to be distributed they could have blocked it being crawled by Wayback in robots.txt.

http://www.hashcash.org/papers/dagger.html similarly to Hashimoto, the original http://vitalik.ca/ethereum/dagger.html is dead, but there is also e.g. this Wiki.

The other changes are just archive links.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170810043047/http://www.hashcash.org/papers/amortizable.pdf}

It's OK to cite an archive link.

pirapira · 2018-02-21T08:43:05Z

Even when copyright infringements are widespread, I cannot aid the copyright infringements.

jamesray1 · 2018-02-21T09:20:09Z

In order to get this PR merged, the only change that I see that might need to be made is (although I am skeptical whether this really needs to be changed:

Change http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/548 to https://archive.li/NyJmF as per above;

I don't believe that there should be an issue with any of the other changes.

I don't think the web archive link is necessary. When the above link is not working anymore, people can look into web archive.

OK, fair enough. I guess that I was thinking it would be better to be proactive and include the Web archive link, so that if the original died, another change would not have to be made.
