- wfunction 9y agoThat's good to know, I wasn't aware. But cash by mail... at what scale? How many people were attacked? And I don't see why the RSA analogy is "too harsh". Impractical is impractical.
- jpttsn 9y agoFloppy disk days, no big thing. But practical enough to work in the wild. RSA bruteforce is (I hope) impractical on a different level.
- abritinthebay 9y agoBut tracing bitcoin is not impractical. It's been done.
