Chuckle. Maybe we can persuade them to get behind bitcoin :). > > By the way, at what temperature there will be possible to save more > information, at higher or at lower one.

But information has no such relationship with temperature, other than that the maximum possible value for information increases with temperature. Remember the equation S+I = S_max. S_max obviously increases with temperature. So usually does S, but S can be decreased by organisation of the matter - by the input of information. > From an engineering viewpoint it looks a bit strange.
