When there is a race involved, then there may be the problem that certain governments have more computation power than all of the participants combined, which can have drastic effects on the blockchain. When it is a messaging medium, then it is probably less efficient than a multicast distribution tree, so it is only interesting in situations when there is a need not to have an "owner" of a distribution channel. Since most channels are about distributing some person's stuff, and even political channels need to have a moderator to function properly, I have yet to encounter a use case. > - - Cryptography and Usability We should get more stuff with the new paradigm out there, then I think this issue will be considered dealt with.

Other than that this isn't really a problem that needs fixing. The web is broken, we can improve the browsers and Tor, but the servers are not the problem. And the fundamental idea behind the indie web that says that you are free if you are exposing your privacy yourself rather letting others do it for you, is fallacious. > - - Secushare API > - - Sexifying Free Software (Accessibility, Graphic Design, > Usability, UX) > - - UnHosted Apps I didn't comment the ones I fully agree upon. ;)
