Or whoever else.

over printed DL-44 blasters?

They don't exactly have good track record

@Graylan | gray00 you don't need to decrypt anything if you have the keys though

wonder what kind of holiday for a single person who doesnt drive can have in the US

decryption keys let you remove the encryption or bypass it

@Misomania the problem is if you have a public key doesn't mean you have a private key.

need to hit a shooting range with a good choice of weapons, would like to hit some good zoos / museums would love to see a rocket launch, etc etc

platforms like discord can give both to the governments asking for them though @Graylan | gray00

if you are not the one doing the encryption, you cannot assume it's being done in a way that works

@Misomania yeah encryption has many flavors.

End to end or user encrpyted and only user viewable.

Steem dpos uses an interesting encrpytion that you cannot read the code unless you have your own private key.

So if I send you a message

No one else but me and you can see it.

still has to include the user themselves at some point, they have to generate their own key outside of the platform

and that excludes most platforms and most users capabilities

I'm talking about steem dpos

Only a handful of those decentralized systems on the planet

Concensus and powerful encryption ensure no one can read it. Only sender and receiver . While still being hosted inside the blockchain forever.

With discord it's not like this. At all. It's simple database. I can go edit all your messages if I wanted to and worked at discord.

You can't edit the blocks in a blockchain see.

signal is pretty well established at this point if you want private communication

you can however man in the middle a blockchain

which is why they are thinking about an inherent private key killswitch for the blockchain

so that the chain self breaks if a node fails that private key exchange

“If it’s impossible to stop something, you’ve got to take charge of it” <-Of course! That's not concerning at all 🙄

^ blockchain

^ "web 3.0"

Exactly. Don't stop it, coopt it! Doesn't leave a martyr.

bingo

that was the web 2.0 plan, too
rather than allow the peer to peer tech that was 2/3 of internet traffic in 05 continue to mature
the centralized platforms took over the use cases
at a cost of literally billions of dollars ( youtube, netflix, facebook )

and only now are people realizing that the web 2.0 centralization necessarily lead to control and censorship

Personally, I'll date myself and say all music made after 1992 is crap. Doesn't mean I want to censor it or government to control it, though.

next up - web 3.0
wrap "decentralization" and "verifiability" up into blockchain solutions that implement surveillance and control

they need ways to prevent man in the middle and zombie nodes still

along with a regeneration method to refuse broken chains back together

is blockchain really required for any specific use case?

search engines are a big need for blockchain

for financial transactions, sure

Zombies? Did someone say zombies?
