gollark: My main problem with cryptocurrencies is the fact that they end up needing to replicate unreasonably large amounts of data everywhere, and allocation of coins is a hard problem without any reasonably good solutions.
gollark: You obviously run into the issue of "what if the key is leaked", though.
