   This is a super cool project, and I think that we will continue to see more and more applications move towards an "on S3" stateless architecture. That's part of the reason why we are building Regatta [1]. We are trying to ena

   I'm always surprised to hear that folks really think about egress costs. I think that's true if you're egressing across the internet for things like photos (i.e. if I'm embedding an image stored on S3 in my website), but

   I just want you to know how much this visualization was appreciated. In my time working at AWS, I recommended this website to every one of our new hires to learn how distributed consensus works. Know that this has taught probably 50+ people

   Note that EFS One Zone is priced the same as S3 Express One Zone with similar latency. One isn't better or worse than the other, it only depends on what kind of access your application needs.

   Correct -- we were using like Rust nightly before 1.0.

   I took this class when Professor Evans originally taught it in 2014(?), and really enjoyed it. Just a note that Rust (the language) has changed significantly in the past 9 years, and many of these code examples will likely not run today wit

    What is the mechanism by which you resolve multiple challenges against an account? Do you always go with the challenge which was issued first? The only failure mode I see is that you can effectively "bet" a small amount of bitcoin

    Of the small amount that I've seen, this is the language that I wish Go were. Obviously, much of the benefit of Go is the standard library coming with "batteries included", so I'm interested to see how this develops over

    A reminder that one of the large issues with running crypto on the client is that you lose important timing information (due to the JS VM).

    Sorry - guarantee was probably too strong. I meant it in the mathematical sense (no more than a negligible chance of distinguishing from random noise) [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure_pseu

    Of course, I'm sure that it is possible to construct one out of a hash function. I am also pretty confident that they do more than just serve the raw bytes of the hash.

    I know that this has a disclaimer that isn't to be used in production. But, just know that hash functions are not there to provide randomness. There is no guarantee that a hash will be statistically indistinguishable from random noise.

    I think that is an acceptable understanding. In a more formal setting, we talk about witnesses [1]. In effect, there is some piece of "knowledge" that will convince someone that you can solve something. With Waldo [2], that would

    I've been working on a Namecoin light-resolving client lately, and this looks really intriguing. However, like with Namecoin (but more urgent because of the need for Bitcoin blocks), how "fast" can a node come online to this

    Can you clarify the first point more? I would assume that if the user is able to connect to "facebook.com", then the connection would immediately go to HTTPS and the router could not "forcefully redirect" or do anything

    This is a very cool project, and one that I am very partial to. I agree that having a common application layer for structured data would be incredibly useful for developers and users across the board by freeing data from the big silos. Ques

    I figured it had to do with something like that. However, do you or inopinatus have any thoughts on the system as a whole?

    Good catch! We actually completely developed AirDispatch without realizing that it had many of the same tenants as IM2000. I haven't seen any IM2000 implementations, so I'd love to check it out if you know of any. Do you not like

    Actually, that's exactly what we are trying to do with AirDispatch [1]. We started out intending to "fix" email with a better protocol, and ended up creating something much greater. The core problems that we tried to solve (t
