Read the news, it's explained there fully. According to them in Albania; wiring has high fee, bad rate, and possibility to be intercepted due to corrupt system.

Interesting game, I played against the AI. It's smart and not simply making random moves. Well done!

Totally, at first I thought it's weird also but after reading Kazushige Nishida's story, it's understandable. I may use this service if I were in his shoes.

> Any password based upon any dictionary word, even with a few extra bits tacked on like this approach suggests, is incredibly weak in the face of a JackTheRipper or HashCat attack. The scheme proposed here would fall quickly from a leak of the password hashes to a HashCat GPU dictionary attack.

You don't get the point of making it's unique. Even if the password is shown because of the advanced bruteforcing, the password can't be used to other services. Hackers will try the password to other services and when it's not working, it's going to ignore it and just try another password.

It's very unlikely that the hackers will try to guess how to reconstruct your original password from the one that he already has.

> .. a weak password being reused ..

The password is not re-used, it's unique for each website.

> Which is much less likely...

Again, you should trust the manager. You should trust the software where you install the manager. and on and on..

What worst is that probably people will use again a weak password for the manager thinking that it's safe.

Some of us don't want to install things. Installing things like that is another layer of surface attack: you should trust the developers, code has no bugs/weakness, etc. Plus it's a single point of failure, once your manager is compromised, all services is compromised also!

It's adding few bits of strength to the current password that you already have. It's not making it weaker to some patterns guesser.

A year is a long time in ethereum dev world, have you tried this with current solidity/evm?

In my two short weeks development of notechain.org solidity itself updated twice!

Hi HN, the creator here. I'm here if you have any comments or suggestions.

NoteChain is an app which allow users to write private and public notes on Ethereum Blockchain.

Public notes can easily be shared to everyone with its ID. Any NoteChain front-end client can read any public notes. For example you can read a note with this id: d8521 (https://notechain.org/#/read/d8521)

The notes can also be private: no one can see it except you. There's no secret backdoor for anyone to peek your notes. For example my secret note with this id: #1d1c2

NoteChain is open source and available in Gitlab and Github. It's possible to host NoteChain in your own computer. A mirror of NoteChain is also exist in Github Pages.

The backend is on Ethereum blockchain so the code is run by the miners of Ethereum. It's also viewable in etherscan.
