In my opinion this is pretty on-brand for Pike. Back when he did his best work, it was possible for one person to "just write the new thing", without making it fit with anything else. There was nothing else to fit it with. You cou

I'm so sick of these cryptocurrency people thinking they have invented something new and clever, where it's just centuries old fraud and money laundering, with some math on top. You can't just "declare" that the alg
