So Wikipedia doesn't accept crypto anymore. Who cares? They don't need it!

The Knowledge Standards Foundation does. We're making an open network of all the encyclopedias (http://encyclosphere.org). Contact us: info@encyclosphere.org

Disclosure: I was co-founder of Wikipedia, once upon a time, and the KSF is my project.


I'm not "working on a decentralized encyclopedia." I am working on tools and standards to network together all the encyclopedias in the world. See encyclosphere.org.


Grandma is never going to install a password manager. That's your job, geek. Besides, it's a great, unique, valuable Christmas present!

Did I suggest that people follow my precise route? I'm not sure I did. I was just reporting how I did it.


It's not meant to win over an average Joe. It's meant to maybe win over the sort of people who read my blog--technical or semi-technical, intelligent in any case, capable of thinking outside the box...


I'm not, really. Before they moved to the crowd (I refused to follow them there), I used to be an Office expert. I knew the software inside and out. I still use Word 2007. But no, I never did install Office 365 (I see my mistake now!).


haha maybe I shouldn't have judged based on a typo
