Indeed, the app is completely client-side with static files, and it seems there is already a fully functional mirror of the current version on IPFS: https://bafybeic4blel5vf4il73n3nzt6vw7npsov6or3cp3myjms4npii...

The whole point of legal tender is that it overrides any terms you may have agreed to beforehand.

"Legal tender" is an idiomatic term of art and refers to the category of things which one is obligated to accept in payment of a debt. It is not merely the intersection of "legal" and "tender". The vast majorit

Secure enclaves are still dependent on someone other than the owner (usually the manufacturer) having ultimate control over the device. Otherwise the relying party has no reason to believe that the enclave is secure.
