My understanding is that PoS approaches follow normal byzantine agreement theory which states that adversaries cannot control more than 1/3rd of the accounts (or money in the case of algorand). You can also delay new blocks more easily

Zcash, monero, dash, mimblewimble and quisquis have big challenges. It is not trivial to solve the encrypted coins problem because: - it is very hard to audit the chain for bugs. If someone finds a bug to create coins through thin air you p

A terabyte a month! Wow. At this point, it seems like reducing this for most clients would help. Have you looked into recursive zkp like what coda is doing?

Maybe go back to java or c++? I'd rather have less people complain about a feature I don't want in the language.

by throwaway415415 8y ago
Exactly. If you can't get rid of your favorite paradigm (which seems to be generics for some reason in this thread) then I guess stick with the language you are already using and don't try to wrap your head around other languages?

You code without them. Ends up making your code clearer in a lot of case, it's pretty good actually. I think a lot of people complaining about generics here are not writing Go

Sucks for you, considered very good by plenty of other people who use it daily.

Lack of generics is a feature imo

Pgp does not handcuff you to the web of trust. Actually most people who use pgp do not use the web of trust but instead compare fingerprints or do trust on first use. If you do not understand this your argument is moot. It is not because yo

Where did I say that we need to give up and use PGP?

If 60 people get addicted to juul, and only 20 gets addicted to cigarrets, there is a problem. Cigarrets are so strong and disgusting that it is really hard to start. You really need to want to look cool as a teen to start smoking cigs. Juu

This is dumb because I vape thc or cbd but never nicotine. I still want to know if it's harmful.

Its a pain in the ass because nobody has created a user friendly UI for that, but in itself it is a powerful technique to establish trust.

The server can still bruteforce it though right?

It's not by design. There are stuff like decaf, ristretto and qDSA which "fix" this

It's not free and is a third party tool developed from reverse engineering apple mail...

The most popular email client is outlook. If you don't know that you are already pretty detached from reality.

This. If you share a temporary password through another secure channel, you can probably just share a symmetric key and then you don't need PAKE anymore. In some cases though, you might want to send yourself something from one device t

still, from a dev perspective it's not always clear what tool to use for the task. That's a lot of bike shedding for something that shouldn't be a problem in the first place: email or whatever communication system we will use

To have forward secrecy you need sessions for each correspondence. To have that, you need something more reliable than mail.

You can use pgp without the web of trust. I think you are missing GP's point.

This ^ People are quick to point to "modern" alternatives like Signal but they miss the web of trust which, correctly implemented would be a killer.

Did Tink rely on NaCl or libsodium?

Browsers have always done that

That's debatable. Your point is that patent would encourage diversity which I'm sure it doesn't change much. Worst it sometimes prevents advances

Usually what happens is that they themselves create their own wikipedia pages. I see that all the time. I don't get why wikipedia allows that, it's becoming a collection of resumes.

I agree with this comment. Everybody changes with time, and yet we dig up in the past of these individuals.

I have a very different vision. It is becoming more and more difficult for China to keep their internet closed.

There is no way they can afford to fragment the internet. They need open source libraries, they need access to information, they need access to education, etc. If they do that they will gp backward economically.

Maybe in the US. But I've never heard about abusing fruit juice before moving here.
