   Why? If the attacker can get that much hash then so can the miners.

   A related problem: duplication is not equality. If two things happen to be the same right now, it doesn't mean they are intrinsically the same thing. If you have multiple products selling for $59.99 they shouldn't share a function

   It's more than just benchmarking, a core part of the model is being able to legally share proprietary information. With a veneer of anonymity a person's "knowledge" and "experience" are too nebulous to regulate

   Double-check that your initial privacy excitement during setup isn't the culprit. The couple of times that happened to me (Paypal being one) lowering my "Browser Privacy" setting from "strict" or "custom"

   The only thing I don't like about that is that it is dependent on the network. Some cryptos don't have multi-sig for example. It's a full system, you have to be aware of protocol changes and such - Shamir is straight math an

    I envisioned the keys coming together at the notary's along with the rest of the estate, with a transaction immediately executed to the final recipient. This is a semi-trusted setup after-all. Also the final recipient would likely be o

    Shamir is one of the suggested ways to restore crypto in case of death with more decentralized trust. You select 20 friends and give them each one of the keys, then at your funeral 10 or more of them come together to unlock your wallet and

    To me the mistake is not having the back/forward buttons honor the different states. It would be a nice built-in undo/redo.

    I don't think it's possible to "scramble" a site to be unscrapeable - it has to render at some point.

    "Democratic" may not have been the best term to use (edited the original comment), even though, as far as platforms go, the web probably is one of the more democratic ones. I was more aiming for "non-proprietary", "
