I think you should invest all the money you have and all you can borrow in crypto currencies today.
I am inferring that you meant implying there.
It has been around long enough that someone with sufficient resources knows how to crack it by now.

Actually one of the smartest things you have said..we'll at least compared to anything else you've posted.
Are you doing it? Or are you just a paper tiger?

So you're still ignorant when it comes to crypto currencies.
You still think doing a background check is spying and that Russia spys on every foreign tourist.
Why would I divulge such information to you? But if you know what a Ledger is you would have your answer.
I never said "just a background check". Those are your words. Erecting strawmen made of lies is your standard operating procedure.
How much have you made in your investment so far?

"Whenever a foreigner enters Russia as a tourist or businessman, their identity as derived from their passport is compared to a list of persons of interest to their security people. "
You're right. It's less then a background check. It's a stare and compare. And you equate that to SPYING ON EVERY FOREIGN TOURIST. Lol!
You can ask all you want Magoof. I don't discuss my finances on a public soccer forum.
And yet you expose your true character for all to see every day.
Quoth Iago, from Othello Act III --
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands:
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.

Quoting people smarter than you make you smart..
But me quoting you makes you look stupid..

You know sometimes if you give people enough time they will begin to divulge things about themselves. At first glance it seems like nothing.. but then.
I've always wondered why you would lie with such confidence about your urinal post knowing that there are sites with tools that enable people pull information, pages, screen shots of long gone websites.
I remember when one of the previous versions of socalsoccer crashed. I believe Doms coment was something like who would want to hack his site and take it down. What was their motivation? Possibly they were embarrassed about a post?
Now someone would have to be versed in cyber security.. maybe like a cryptographer to be able to pull this off.
Have a great day E..
Have you finished your arithmetic homework yet?
Here is some help --
x times x times x times x times x times x times x times x equals 1. What is the value of x? For full credit, show one correct value. For extra credit, show all possible values of x.
How hard could it be? The only value in the problem is 1.

Just read the wikipedia page on blockchain:
Blockchain - Wikipedia
In 1982 the first blockchain-like protocol was proposed....
I know you don't like @espola, but this is a weird hill to die on. A lot of computer science algorithms/concepts have a very rich history. Just read up on Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage, Alan Turning, Donald Knuth, etc etc etc.

Turing (sp) is one of my heroes of computer science. The last hard course I took to get my Computer Science degree from SDSU was Introduction to Computability. The study of Turing machines was about half of the course content. The Turing test is relevant to current online interactions today - is that a person or a computer?
Turing is relevant here because he and his crew of oddballs famously broke the German Enigma machine, although if you study the real history of that (and not movies like The Imitation Game) they were helped a great deal by sloppy procedures among the German radio operators. One example is that they often chose the same 3 letters for the secondary machine settings (something like their girlfriend's initials). That's equivalent to giving away each day's settings, once the cryptanalysts realized what was happening. Another weakness was covered to some degree in the movie -- using standard formats for weather messages sent at the same time every morning and, being good Nazis, including a "Heil Hitler" as a closing salutation. Even that could have been disguised by well-known techniques such as Russian copulation (chopping a message in two parts and sending the second part first - that disguises the location of the standard opening and closing phrases and the proper placement of the two halves is usually obvious after decoding).
Blockchain techniques were first proposed in a crude form in the early '80s but no one did anything useful with them. There was a revolution in electronics in the '70s as a lot of difficult, sloppy, techniques were shown to have simple, precise analogs in the digital domain. I had the pleasure of working with fred harris (no caps in his name) an SDSU electronics/computer wizard who rode around the campus on a skateboard and had a house full of model trains. He was a consultant for our company and regularly gave seminars on the latest techniques in our conference room. At one time the speed and capability of our bigger machines (FFT sonar analyzers) were limited by the race between the capabilities of analog-to-digital converters and digital multiplier chips.

Not gonna die on a hill. My point was E and his knowledge if cryptography does not give him credence in crypto currency. He has no idea what blockchain or even white paper are or do in the crypto space.Cryptocurrencies use cryptography, it's not just the blockchain:

Blockchain, as far as use in crypto is fairly new..post 2k. I don't doubt a form of it was proposed earlier but being used in actual application is another thing.
Take AI. It's been around for a long time in some form but just recently has been put to use in the crypto world.
I could care less about Es "credentials " in cryptography that he learned in the 70s as they are of little use in the crypto space of today. He might be able to hack a soccer website.. doesn't mean he understands how cc work.
And you would be correct. I generally don't like people who lie at the drop of a hat.. hence my feelings for E.
What lies?
I should have added that the Enigma machine when used properly was totally adequate for 1939, or even 1945. Computing power was not strong enough then to conquer that level of encryption. Nowadays NSA's computers can probably crack Enigma-level encryption in real time once they have a good-sized collection of messages to analyze. Turing's bombes and follow-on machines developed at Bletchley Park were just about ready to pull the curtain completely off Enigma when the war ended and the British government decided to destroy all the machines. They wanted the fact that they could break secret communications to be kept secret, and not much was known to the public about Turing's accomplishments until the '70s.
A one-time pad will still always work, since it reduces a plaintext message to white noise. The problem with those is the overhead required to distribute one-time pads (or, more properly, their digital equivalents) to all the message authors and receivers in the field. There are some efforts to make pseudo-one-time pads by complicated methods so a sender and a receiver can get a new pad whenever they need one, but I don't know enough about those to describe them any more than that (and it's definitely classified anyway).
There are several websites that allow users to operate a virtual Enigma machine in order to get a good feel of how they operate. I even wote my own simulator as a hobby exercise using a free C compiler when I retired. I checked its operation against some of the online websites, but I didn't spend any time making a jazzy presentation page like those guys have done.
The Enigma machine: Encrypt and decrypt online
The Enigma cipher machine is well known for the vital role it played during WWII. Alan Turing and his attempts to crack the Enigma machine code changed history. Nevertheless, many messages could not be decrypted until today.

The Enigma machines are a series of electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines. The first machines were invented at the end of World War I by German engineer Arthur Scherbius and were mainly used to protect commercial, diplomatic and military communication. Enigma machines became more and more...
