The problems related to blockchains are very well known. Blockchains have been used extensively at this point, for highly critical applications. They're the most censorship resistant platforms known to exist.
- andreyf 10y agoCare to name a point where a blockchain stood between MSS and Chinese dissidents? NSA and islamic radicalizers? SVR and someone Putin wants dead? I'm stoked about blockchains as much as anyone else (heck, I quit a job at Google and spent a year playing with them when Bitcoin first came on the scene). But to say that they are a good thing to build on top of when facing adversaries that have 7 figure USD budgets and capabilities to perform active attacks on non-trivial chunks of the internet strikes me as just a bit naive.
