It’s clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

    I saw a user’s hash just this week — it was in a ransom note. They required their victims to sign up for the service and text a code to their userhash to kick off sending the attacker cryptocurrency so they’d send a decryption key and not make stolen data public.

    Other than that use case, it hasn’t picked up many users that I’m aware of.
