No. The point is, you could be downloading a corrupted copy of the firmware with exploits, for example. If your firmware has such exploits, what good is the fact that most of your traffic goes over https?

A lot of people living in subsidized housing will have a stove, because Section 8 requires it from landlords. However, I know a lot of people who may be slightly above the poverty line who don't have a working stove. That included me

Yeah, in that article they basically say it's likely one factor among many, which is exactly what I'm saying.

I wonder the same thing. I think there is a study being done now in the US on cash grants, so there may be some data. But not nearly as much as there is from Africa.

Yes, it looks like this (and other differences) is why it's called a "Bitcoin-like" project. It also runs over HTTP instead of plain TCP/IP, so it can't be used as a Bitcoin node anyway (and there are numerous other

I do agree that you really need to make very clear that your crypto is not backed by any USD. That's not clear enough reading your description.

Sorry, that's incorrect information. I've been to several countries that have pegged their currency to USD or to (long time ago) Deutsche Marks, without every claiming to the same currency in reserve. It leads to currency black ma
