  1Password can’t fail that hard easily. They’ve done great write-ups to compare their architecture to that of LastPass. Long story short: it’s the secret key that protects you: blog.1password.com/what-the-secret-key-does/

  Trouble with those tests is, that they become unreliable or even meaningless, when you have done then once, let alone daily.

  This would be my gut reaction as well. I’ve met some game developers privately and got to know them better and after that a career in game development was out of the question for me. It’s not even the fault of the game studios, many of which are being lead by idealistic game devs themselves. It’s the publishers who only offer contracts that are so tightly knit, that many game studios go bankrupt after release of they can’t get another contract quick enough. The whole industry is rotten and no amount of management will save that on the lowest level of the food chain.

  You can implement public or semi public ledgers without Blockchain. That’s what banks are doing already by sending huge CSV files internally and externally. Blockchain is not a technology of zero trust. It’s close to the opposite. You trust a few peers and blindly trust everyone they trust. That way you trust a network that you know nothing about and if the network decides on a common truth that you are convinced is incorrect, there is nothing you can do about it. The consensus always wins and there is no single entity to complain to and get it fixed. This is great for making sure that many actors need to be bad actors in order to have the whole system fail. It’s bad if you don’t trust anyone and want to make sure that your standards are always observed. From a technology standpoint I love the concept of Blockchain. But use cases that are not forced are few and far apart. Too few for the amount of hype it receives.

  I didn’t know about that. In one of today’s 10000 🙂

  The original idea for the premise, quite certain. The original version is a bit of a stretch.
