The only example you mentioned that is attributable to government is sex-ed. Sex education isn't about teaching you how to have sex, it's "here's all the reasons you need to be very careful with sex". In my classes

Nano does have PoW, but only on the client side as spam protection. It's quite clever actually, if someone is trying to spam the network your wallet can just include a higher difficulty PoW to get your transaction processed ahead of al

WhatsApp claims to use a well-known algorithm so it shouldn't be too hard for a researcher to encode a message with their own implementation of the algorithm (while copying the seed/keys from WhatsApp) and confirm that they get th
