I hope I didn’t sound like I was making any point that goes against what you say there @Traktion, I certainly didn’t mean to. My point was that it is sad that the crypto space is so hypey and snake-oily, and that I fully sympathise with people saying “no, not interested until you prove it”, it’s a very reasonable response.
My Rust beginnings are coming along very slowly but I am looking forward to when I can look through the code half-following myself one day, thanks for continuing to share your thoughts as you progress with that. Like waving a carrot in front of a donkey.
Never liked Hacker News, to be honest. They often seem an incredibly self-righteous but willfully ignorant lot. When asked to research their positions or look at countervailing evidence, they tend to plug their ears and scream.

When I was reading about Arweave, I noticed lots of mentions of teaming up with the Internet Archive. There are several comments about this in Arweave articles (or those written by their partners), but I couldn’t find anything formal from Internet Archive on Google and certainly nothing linked from said articles.

I understand a lot of people say they don’t care about privacy in the context of Facebook, Google etc, but I suspect the issues are more complex. Here’s an interesting result just as the EU set out plans for digital vaccine passports:
Safe Network could provide a lot of solutions here while providing ultimate trust and security - leaving control fully in the hands of the individual. Many ways it could be done too I suspect.
I only question whether governments will be interested in the level of privacy and security of Safe … I suspect they are in it for the power and control - and they won’t get that with Safe.
I have the resources to support another charity campaign (besides the one for Boyanka) - Dare 2 Care for care and treatment of abandoned street animals (cats and dogs) and I started to spread posters in the residential entrances:
