Every time one of these articles is posted, I predict a very very short investigation into the technical workings of the project will find that the same could’ve been done with a much simpler central database. Or, that they were actually using a database at the backend and wasting their whole crypto approach.

And we all know technology never changes or improves over time. Good catch.

Technology absolutely improves.
