I was wondering about this too. I'm looking for a system that verifies uploaded identity documents, but it seems like BlockScore doesn't do that and only focuses on knowledge based authentication. Does anyone have recommendations

Yeah, I agree. I thought this was an article about someone claiming SSL is boring. BoringSSL makes it much clearer that its referring to something with that name.

There are quite a few web interfaces that makes IRC accessible to less-technical folks, while also allowing for more tech-savvy users to use their preferred IRC client. What's the advantage you see over using something like that? Edit:

"correct horse battery staple" is a reference to xkcd [0]. Its not meant to be "random" and not meant to be used by anyone. I assume that people who send funds to that address are fully aware that anyone can access them.

This isn't realistic for an exchange. They have an enormous transaction volume, which is represented as internal/off-chain transaction in an internal accounting system. Using multi-signature transactions requires every fund transf

This looks very nice, but its somewhat inconvenient to write with the preview on top, as it makes the textarea jump around as I type. I think that side-by-side or putting the preview on the bottom would make more sense.
