This contest isn't a great example of the kind of contests he is talking about. 1) They are giving you the source code, protocol, and a tcpdump of all traffic between the chatters. You can even send messages via the protocol to one of

A lot of haters in this thread. To be expected. I've been following this space for a while and telegram is the best app out there right now. The usability is great and they are trying to do the right things when it comes to security. T

I feel like most people do use it as a payments network. That makes me feel uneasy about the conversion rate of bitcoins to dollars. What is that really based on? The rate doesn't affect people who use it as a transaction network becau

This doesn't make any sense... why wouldn't the attacker just do the attack themselves? What is the advantage to this?

What else does it look at? I don't see what else would affect it besides things that you could also verify in theory.

I would be interested in seeing the list of tech companies this stat is based off of. 5.6 seems really low to me seeing that FB, zynga, linkedin are all valued at hundreds of times sales. Guessing these tech companies are not consumer softw

In Belgium , there are some tax rules that subsidize companies that give employees company cars. So its very common for a white collar worker to have a company car. I wonder if thats why Belgium is the only country where this isnt true ( we

There has been a lot of interesting development on the secure chat front lately ( secure circle, textsecure, heml.is, cryptocat etc ). Not sure if bittorrent chat will be very interesting. Most secure chat clients encrypt on the client side
