Further thoughts on that are welcome. You mean archiving of discourse on delvingbitcoin.org? I think that's a serious problem if there's no good way to mirror delvingbitcoin.org. It is very easy to archive email lists, and anyone can do it (I'm archiving lightning-dev, bitcoin-dev myself, among others). Also, email list archives naturally lead themselves to decent authentication, both via PGP and more commonly, DMIK, making archives authenticatable. I don't see any way that delvingbitcoin.org could ever replicate that beyond mere timestamps. I'll be the first to say that timestamping is pretty weak security. Better than nothing. But they aren't good. -- https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
