Well, all those points mentioned can be avoided with well designed REST APIs. I think REST has plenty of life in it yet.

I had the same problem. You should just invest a shitload of (her) money in MAID, I guarantee you sheāll start to seriously care for the success of this project!

Seneca, I have alreadyā¦ she doesnāt know quite how much though (lol). Luckily Iāve bored her so much she doesnāt ask me any questions - iād be all too keen to explain why to her and she knows it lol
upstateā¦ no, no one seems to get it when I explain it to them, even the people I consider much brighter than myself raise one eyebrow at me. Iām probably not explaining it well enough; itās a big idea with broad scope and itās hard to do justice to in the 5 mins it takes for me to bore themā¦ then weāre on another subject!

I always tell people, well itās the idea of Dropbox where you have a map on your desktop and store files online. Only in this case itās not stored in a datacentre somewhere but the files are "chunkedā into a lot of pieces, fully encrypted and stored on other peopleās computer. When they serve us the file back, they make some coins. That same idea is used to store websites online. So a website will never go down because thereās always someone in the network storing it and providing you the pieces to show get the website.
Dunno if that helps, most people seem to get it this way. Just stay away from XOR, caching, routing, DNS and only use the word āencryptedā once

@smacz I wasnāt sure if it was an implementation or just the API right now but either way I think you got what I meant, no need to pick it apart and was pretty much beside the point I was actually making.
Very succinct, I might even C&P it lol. But now try and talk about the implications for society as a whole and why safenetwork really mattersā¦ itās hard to stop yourself droning on and losing people!

You know just a shot in the dark here but I THINK maybe, just maybe, SAFE might have had some influence on the popularity of RUST and will continue to do so.
