@nbering This seemed relevant to the conversation:

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.

–Tony Hoare, 1980

Without security, digital is just an illusion.

One of the main reasons our internet security is so shitty, is because no one wants to pay for security... however, everyone will pay for convenience. Making an application convenient is hard, but making it secure is even harder. But its easier to justify to investors who salivate over "convenience" and "efficiency" and such.

The arduous process of gaining eligibility and maintaining that eligibility for #blockchain PoA verification is, in my opinion, extremely labor intensive since it requires a plethora of state backed judicial services behind it. Reputation is far from a proper incentive.

Great #blockchain article revolving around lightning network:
"We cannot go from Trace Mayer’s sixth network effect of financialization to the seventh network effect of reserve currency status without the correct financial tools."
