crypto was not co-opted. FAANGies just got stuck on a WebPKI side quest. leading research in the field is being done by blockchain companies. you don't have to believe me, try read…

yeah, it links to a standard JSON format for my article. mirror's data is portable. the json also contains my signature which authenticates the post to my self-sovereign identity (…

all of that functionality is mediated by on-chain evm bytecode

ENS is an example of a project that is extant, working, and has a decent amount of funding (controlled democratically through a delegated token voting system). Here's my ENS record…

I'm pretty sure that you can pop down to the search bar and type "TLS too inefficient" and see that, in fact, they did. there was a large period of time where TLS was not widely de…

i have worked on both TLS and blockchain tech for years. my point is that the purpose of the security architecture proposed in the article is to authenticate data from the chain. t…

>And those who respond with indifference and denial of that reality, much like a person in your position, will have no say or power within the new system. that wasn't my point. my …

(and, many bitcoin wallets already do this)

there is no reason why apple or google would need to do this. Rainbow or similar apps just need to change their code in their already deployed wallet software on these platforms to…

people said the same thing about TLS

this is like saying that TLS won't work because of moderation

for proof of stake, the cost is roughly: - download a hash-sized state root every block - download the set of validator signatures over that hash and verify each signature against …

yeah because then it wouldn't actually be doing anything

You're doing the thing I wrote about in the first few paragraphs of the article. By the way, the largest academic cryptography group, IACR, was founded by people who were working o…

using a blockchain costs no energy

We should not be building our infrastructure to rely on the incidental beneficence of the oligarchy. We should build tools for decentralized permissionless economic coordination. Q…

No normal users are ever going to edit a configuration file, complete with its own specific syntax, in order to install apps.

actually, it's going to make Bitcoin go to the Moon because Tether is shorting Evergrande paper! Both the above and your statement have the same level of evidence behind them. We d…

Sure you can. Write some code that gives students the ability to turn off the surveillance. Distribute it. Not only does this stop the surveillance, it also brings to light the iss…

ah yes, guy who predicts the euro will fail every 2 years, and who predicted that the internet would be a fad, right again

Unfortunately, despite being a nightmare, SMB seems to be still be the best option for networked filesystems on macOS. AFP is now officially deprecated/unsupported, and the NFS cli…
