[specialist]

Totally. I remain 100% opposed. "Cryptographic timestamps" would only solve one of the many blockers.

Sadly, others will continue to push their harebrained ideas.

One thing I learned as an activist is that offense beats defense. Meaning it's easier to promote a correct solution than oppose all the bad solutions.

So if a digital equivalent of the Australian Ballot system (private voting, public counting) exists, I better find it.
