Cryptocurrency is not necessarily anonymous. Buying bitcoin from a broker leaves a record connecting your payment method to your wallet. Even if you mine them yourself, doesn’t your IP address show up on the public ledger? I guess if you somehow bought bitcoin in cash…
Is there a more private cryptocurrency I’m not considering?

The implications of “magic is data” are fun. It leads to stories like Unsong where you can brute-force enumerate incantations until you find a good one. I also like the concept of Wizard’s Bane. I haven’t read it, but my understanding is that magic turns out to be Turing-complete, and the protagonist creates a LISP evaluator in magic, which enables them to outcast their enemies who are still doing the magical equivalent of writing assembly.
You’re not the boss of me now!

Totally meta comment, but why is everyone here saying “per head” instead of “per capita”?
I don’t? You can apply a similar technique to bust file hashes. Add a new comment to each source file, or whatever.
My point is that automated methods to detect unwanted content will only get GitHub so far. It will have to be fuzzy, and that means it’s an arms race between detectors and obfuscators.
It would be possible to create a dummy “salt” commit and rebase every the branch onto it. The content would effectively be the same, but each commit hash would differ.

It’s super cool if you know git. It lets you track where your files are without having them all in the same place. You could have a bunch of disconnected hard disks, and git-annex will remember where you put your stuff.
You can also set a minimum number of copies and it will only let you delete stuff from one place when it’s sure there are sufficient copies elsewhere.
I do not recommend using the assistant (edit: nor the webapp) if you’re planning on ever reviewing the repo’s history. It generated a bajillion automatic commits that drown out any handwritten commit messages.
That it’s dry and boring and even I must hate it because there’s no place for creativity in a technical field.

Below you will find my highly researched list of advantages over the typical smartphone:
Haha agreed, if we’re talking about kilobytes of missing data brute forcing is intractable.
There may be structure to exploit in the data format. E.g. if you’re recovering missing content from a book written in English, you can probably get away with enumerating only printable ASCII and 90% of the letters will be lowercase.
But practically, I am unconvinced because the information density is pretty high on the kinds of things people like to torrent.
On average it’ll take 2^(n-1) guesses to reconstruct 2^n bits, so… depends on how many hashes / sec you can do.
Sonic looks pregnant in the first game. Oh, that must be the baby in the sequel.
