  1. Very interesting stuff... another extra reason for the idea that the more people use TOR, the safer it is. Then again, the most congested it might become. I imagine a potential solution for traffic shape analysis would be for client and end node to have constant input without spikes with complete saturation, filling blanks with garbage. But that would also make the whole thing kinda useless in terms of speed.. or extremely complicated to pull. :P And also extremely taxing for every node.

  2. Nice! One of the best, well laid out explanations on blockchain that I have heard so far... for my level of understanding I mean.

  4. Crazy stuff... I kinda thought real time ray tracing was supposed to eliminate some of that stuff, but apparently not. Another great video guys, thanks!

  7. Now I'm kinda curious to know how many empty files you'd need to fill an entire HDD worth of space... can you imagine? A 1Tb HDD filled with empty files? Guess it's easy math, but I'm lazy... some tens of billions of empty files.

  10. Question... sorry if it was already answered, I need to watch the video again. But regarding entropy and passwords made out of random words, would a dictionary attack significantly lower the entropy of it? I imagine it'd be hard figuring out the correct length of the password, and then you'd need a whole lot of word combinations and recombinations to the to the correct length. I'm currently using just random alphanumeric with a password manager, but in the future I'd like to switch to an offline password manager and combinations of words in different languages, significant numbers and symbols thrown around.... that I imagine would be plenty. xD Still relatively memorable at least for the most used stuff, and the rest would have to be recovered using the offline password manager.
