Some amount of decentralization is still nice for them I guess. The big problem they don't have to solve is an anonymous defense against a Sybil attack. They would probably be better handpicking a group of institutions / people &#

Why was it hard to deliver messages to iphone using p2p? I mean I guess they couldn't open ports and listen for messages, but that should have been true for plenty of NATed systems too right?

Some people used to claim that you should never use your own crypto code because the libraries are designed by people infinitely smarter than you who thought of everything. That is starting to ring hollow to me.

I think his argument goes as follows. If you have N numbers in memory, then you have to use pointers of size log N bits. Because pointers use the same number of bits as numbers, this means that the numbers have to be log N bits. Because rad

It only takes 226 bits of entropy if all shuffles should be equally likely . If one shuffle has probability sufficiently close to 1, and the rest are equally likely, you could make do with less than a bit of entropy.
