Makes it difficult to implement the protocol in anything but node.js (and potentially version specific, if node.js ever decides to tweak json serialization stuff)

essentially public, and also basically requires downloading and storing the entire history of a "feed" to verify it.

Agree completely. I don't know if I'd choose s-expr, but at the bare minimum, wrapping with signatures is the sane thing to do.

I had expressed interest in changing it, but it would require changing the core data structure the network is built on, and basically be a breaking change that would almost inevitably result in having to start the entire social web over fro

I've written a partial implementation of the scuttlebutt p2p protocol (not the encryption, but everything on top). While point to point is encrypted, the bulk of the data is not encrypted. You can specifically send "private&quot

Scuttlebutt is not at all "fully encrypted", it's fairly trivial to spider and download just about everything. The hardest part is the first foothold (which can be found posted various places, including the official docs on

One example of an active effort to prevent the genericization of a trademark was that of the Lego Company, which printed in manuals in the 1970s and 1980s a request to customers that they call the company's interlocking plastic buildi

They can try all they want, but legos are pretty close to hitting "genericized trademark" status like bandaids and kleenex.

They can't really check most of that stuff on desktop, as they are restricted to run inside the browser. That said, I'm sure some tried with ActiveX crap and such.
