I went and dug up where I had read Green talk about this and it turns out it was in a conversation with you. It seems you and him disagree, he says ZCash couldn't/wouldn't have hap…

Monero wasn't developed by a group of highly respected cryptographers and the privacy it offers is plausible deniability not zero knowledge.

OWS quite often use anarchist figures and quotes in their example images for blog posts, this is nothing new.

Some of these don't make sense. The point of bcrypt, scrypt, and pbkdf2 is the difficulty of them is configurable. Digging into the comments on that gist, it says that the bcrypt b…
