SSLeay, which was forked and became OpenSSL, was developed by Tim Hudson (AU) and Eric Young (NZ). Also, he's not precisely (primarily?) an open source developer, but Julian Assange is Australian.

Is there a reason that a consumer would prefer an application-specific currency (intimate, DentaCoin, whatever) rather than a generic currency (BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, whatever)? From my point of view, it seems like an unnecessary friction to b

The headline isn’t a very good summary of the article, or the basic idea expressed therein. The author proposes the use of a tontine, an investment trust arrangement dating back to the 1600’s. A tontine, correctly administered, won’t go ban

I think the title is a little aggressive - it presupposes that an ICO buyer received a "tip" with inside information. While that's not an unreasonable thing to consider with respect to an angel (or larger) investor who has su

This is basically true, but a little overstated. In particular, it's helpful to make a distinction between brute-forcing a cipher, and brute-forcing a particular file. If I GPG-encrypt my plaintext with a weak RSA key, or a weak passph

How is this different from traditional appearance services? The only difference I can see from a quick look is the use of an iOS/Android app.

There are a lot of jobs that are valued less than project/program manager. That is unrelated to whether or not it's a good match for you. You can be valued by your colleagues - or hated - in any job.
