Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Do I have to put my pgp key on "The Blockchain" to get people to use it?

Dont think you can solve social problems with technical solutions tbh

@Soyweiser @Irelephant you definitely can't solve *anything* with PGP

not true! if I want to be really fucking angry, pgp is a great solution to getting that done quickly!

It was an attempt to solve a problem at the time (which partially still exists now) it had some use then (as it does now). It just didn't work as something that would be adopted by the general public for various reasons. Stuff like, you need to go to an open source conference.
