I would like to point out one thing. There are 3 or 4 people in cryptography that are respected for their amazing talents in the field AND actually take the time to comment around here on articles.
For some reason you got lucky, and all of them are in this thread talking to you, attempting to give advice. Advice that some people pay a LOT of money for, to these specific people.
Most of your responses to them have read very defensively and argumentative. Out of everything said so far, this is the thing that scares me about possibly using this system.
- jstanley 9y agoDelivering applications over IPFS presents a different set of assumptions compared to traditional applications. It's frustrating when people act like I haven't thought through those assumptions and are handing out cargo-cult advice that is not applicable in this application. The non-uniform key generation is a bug, and I'm glad somebody noticed it.
- lucideer 9y agoYou've made a very large, arrogant, and bombastic claim: "The world's most secure X.... guaranteed". While this is followed by a "* not guaranteed", implying it is some kind of joke heading, the tone remains, and given that, you must reasonably expect to get a hard time from HN / security experts. You might be able to back up this claim, but you really shouldn't feel frustrated by the response here given its tone. Had you come on with something reasonable and descriptive like "Hardbin: a security-focused IPFS based pastebin", you might have received a more tempered response (though still, I'm sure, skeptical - as with all things security-oriented).
