Also, we talked about this new thing that is on the horizon, Dat Project, distributed architecture technology. IPFS. I am really intrigued by this. This is a decentralized web. Imagine if you will a time when truly Catholic things – or truth at all – is less and less tolerated. Right now, if the registry people – DNS – turn the key on your site, your site is gone. No one can find you. By analogy, think about how Bitcoin is sort of out there, spread around, decentralized. I’m not saying that Bitcoin is great. The tech idea behind it is really interesting. By another analogy, I’ve long thought that Catholic entities should have ham radio operators against the time that they might have to stay in touch with each other DX, etc.Amen, Brother Z. Bitcoin is just another fake "independence" but shortwave is real. Shortwave has always been the last resort for truly decentralized samizdat. The tyrants can certainly shut down an operator by arresting or killing him, but they CAN'T shut down the communication. There is no central node that passes through NSA. There's always an alternate skip path.
