If you use blockchain for storing secrets, then you signal that you don't know
what blockchain was intended for and what storing secrets needs, in other
words, you signal that you are not competent to build a password store.
- yani 8y agoWhat is wrong with making an encrypted secret - public? Isn't this what encryption is all about?
- dozzie 8y agoNo, encryption is for keeping secret a secret, even if it ends up public. But this misses the point. Blockchain is an implementation of a specialized cryptographic primitive called "document timestamping". Nothing this primitive provides is useful for a password manager. About the only thing that would be useful is much better served with a DHT, and much cheaper, too.
