Re: [FRIAM] Facebook. And this it not a troll

Boy, good point. AOL attempted to be a walled garden, providing all the (then) internet capabilities. But it collapsed under it's own weight, primarily due to its financial model being, at base, an ISP. FB on the other hand "got it", they aren't an ISP (but they are building out networking in the

Re: [FRIAM] Get ready for Blockchain

Very cool. Thanks for the idea! I've never profiled either GPG or any blockchain transactions. Ever since the 2nd round of StorJ testing, I began using my Coinbase wallet exclusively ... My penchant for wiping and reinstalling the OS kept interfering with my (lack of) wallet management. On

Re: [FRIAM] Get ready for Blockchain

There’s an article in Quanta Magazine (https://www.quantamagazine.org) that claims RSA encryption will still be viable after the quantum computing revolution. I only skimmed it, but what struck me was the mention of terabyte encryption keys. --Barry On 18 May 2017, at 10:37, glen ☣ wrote:

Re: [FRIAM] Get ready for Blockchain

Josh or someone else can explain it better than i. It's been a thing for as you know for Peering and P2P since IIRC the 80s. It's basically how banks works. It got popular with 'fake' (*.Coin) money to sensably ask: well if (insert economy) simply isn't working. Then these might be a better idea.

Re: [FRIAM] Get ready for Blockchain

I blush to say that I'm not current with blockchain technology. Or why it works. Or why I'd want to use it. If it is as robust as it appears, I'm wondering if it will have the same revolutionary impact on the internet (tcp/ip and protocols built on top of it), as the Brave browser is having on the
