Is there any way we can make Remote Attestation providers liable for any losses incurred while using their services? Can we make it so that banks, record companies, and individuals can sue Microsoft or Google if their system doesn't de

I have to agree that "zero trust" is terrible marketing (alongside "trustless computing" or variations of that). Generally, we think of "trust" as a positive term, and having zero of it seems bad. That's a

Took me a full year of questioning life choices before it felt worth it, but fearless refactoring is so nice . I may have trouble going back to C just for that.

For the first year we did not have Vec because we were no-std + stable so we literally had to use arrays and could not reach out for heap allocated Vecs. Things got much better after we got std and could use Vec, as you note, but there are

Secretly, I suspect the answer is market differentiation. You can charge a higher royalty for a CPU core that has an MMU, and bundling it into the low end stuff erodes margins. The complexity is real, but in a typical SoC the actual CPU cor

They are also comparing against some older generation ASICs...the S19 from Bitmain[1] which 'mature' tech today gets 34J/TH, 95TH/s which is like... 40% better?? It's a super weird comparison point that they chose.

The idea is that it would be the only form of storage on the device, so it wouldn't be specialized. That's how it is implemented on Precursor -- you don't have a parallel non-deniable storage, and then a deniable one. Everyth

You might be right about that concern, however, a lot of this work is done through public funding. Seems a little bit like double-dipping to get the public to pay for you to make IP that you then later sell to the highest bidder, with no ob
