What would be a better platform for storing, say, a database of torrent magnet links, or a dump of leaked documents, in a way that makes censorship computationally infeasible?
- zaroth 13y agoHow can you make censorship computationally infeasible? Implicating everyone running a client as co-conspirators for distributing top secret documents seems like a bad plan. FBI agents busting down doors of anyone running these clients would make a lot of people think twice about running one. Compare this to, for example, just running your own Tor hidden service with the documents you want to share. Doesn't implicate anyone, and actually respects the privacy of anyone interested in reading what you are serving. Well, maybe :-)

Then, if datacoin mining is outlawed, it will become more profitable the way drug dealing is more profitable because it is illegal. People wanting to make money will mine using VPN or by using botnets. Some CPUs will stop mining if it is outlawed, only making it more profitable for those who continue.
