   I co-built/run Theneeds [1] for about 5y. We shut it down during the acquisition. In our case, we weren't sad or anything because the website was "just a frontend" to the recommendation engine, that was in fact the IP th

   You should consult a lawyer, but typically a patent can be enforced if all the claims are met. If your new startup does something similar, but with enough variations that you can prove doesn't meet all the claims (here is where you nee

   Thanks, I see now, OP's asking about mines, not necessarily miners (though I guess it's a bit hard to distinguish... if I mine, do I have a mine? how many cores should I have to qualify that as a mine?) Anyway, on the >50% atta

   Why am I getting downvoted!? The question is what happens if (all) miners shut down. To me, it does NOT seem to be asking what happens if some miners begin to fade out. I'm sure my answer is technically correct. Transactions only happe

   There can't be transactions, so nobody can move bitcoins around.

   I suspect he’s also implicitly assuming “the inverse is easy to compute”, so both the operation and its inverse have small K complexity.

   I run on avg 1 mile/day, and I play capoeira on avg 1-2 times/week. I've started both 2 years ago (it was when Mark Zuckerberg was running 1mi/day), and successfully maintained both for the past 2 years. I really like es

    1.5. Use a separate browser for sensitive sites, e.g. banks. (possibly, avoid storing these passwords if you can) I feel this is pretty simple, way simpler than many other recommendations here, and has its benefits especially for people tha

    Yes, there's a ton to be done in this space. To my understanding it's almost exclusively owned by theknot on the planning and zola/similar on registry. Both are pretty poor quality imo, but they work. In addition, also advert

    That's what I ended up for MemPa (described above). The idea is that I can't read binary sha256 output, and everything I know that can translate in hex can also translate in base64 leading to shorter secrets. For the special chars

    I know it's not precisely what you're asking, but in the python world there's this new and pretty interesting library, Automat [1]. I believe it's used in Twisted, or at least that use case strongly influenced the lib de

    If you have to change your master password, you have to change all passwords. With a vault, if you ever “leaked” your vault file, it’s the same. To me, it’s hard to think to a realistic case where your master password is leaked, but you’re

    I think you're assuming that the algorithm must be reversible, but I don't see why. For example, hash(site|strong_master_password) isn't reversible under reasonable assumptions. If the algorithm is not reversible, "one p

    I don't think this is a good idea. Please don't get me wrong, it would be great to have a service to centralize all your passwords including rotation, but this already exists. It's Google/Facebook if you choose to use

    You may want to have a look at MemPa (also commented above) [1]. Please LMK what do you think, info in my profile. [1] https://hackernoon.com/mempa-a-modern-deterministic-password...

    In my personal case I have no such passwords. This said, you can use the counter. The counter isn't necessary an incremental int, you can also for example use yymm if you want to "auto renew" your password every month. So far

    I think I share your same concerns: I don't want to rely on any single application for my entire security (and some passwords are my entire security). I recently blogged about the algo I use [1], it's a simple deterministic base64

    I wonder if the parent sites are even aware of this. If you can get (well, you can) the autofilled email+password, might as well automatically log the user in. Edit: it's also interesting to see so many EU sites, where in theory you sh

    I think there is an important point which is ignored, in the article and here in the thread: typos. Unfortunately, when designing a login flow (and a signup one), you can’t assume that the user always inputs the right things. Try logging in

    I’m slightly biased here, but I think you shouldn’t distinguish non-techies from yourself. Mostly because you’re secure only if they are secure, and in addition you can learn a lot about their issues if you’re using the same products. Can I

    Bitcoin also hashes twice, i.e. it computes sha256(sha256(.)). Supposedly, this is to protect against extension attacks [1]. Was wondering, any specific reason to choose RSA vs ECDSA? Signatures would be smaller. [1] https://en.w
