@BigBlackCockroach Have you heard of https://nostr.com/ ?
Should be of interest to you.
It's censorship resistant by design and you can get 100% censorship resistance by running your own relay (server which transfers the data between the clients).
It's a protocol, so all kinds of different applications can be implemented with it. Something like mastodon already exists.

Whitepaper is just a different term for a technical documentation[1] and has literally nothing to do with cryptocurrency. Your reasoning in your initial post doesn't make any sense what so ever. I guarantee most of the companies you mentioned, if not all, published white papers for various topics in their past. I can only repeat myself, white papers have absolutely nothing to do with crypto currency. Just as one example. Check the Signal protocol[2] Wikipedia page and search for whitepaper.

It's ok to not know what a white paper is but then don't start your posts with "Looked pretty interesting, until I saw the “read whitepaper” button.".

That being said, where in the skiff white paper did you find crypto currency? Admittedly I didn't read all or even most of it but a simple search for "currency", "blockchain" or even "chain" doesn't return any results. I really hope you don't talk about the word "crypto", cause that has an entirely different meaning in that context.

@kescusay Just out of interest, what are the "special-purpose activities that can’t be done on my Linux laptop" if you don't mind sharing?
