You've been staring at a computer screen way too long, homie. Life's not that binary. Isn't it? Sure, there are grays... but when you come right down to it, at its core, beneath every choice, there's either a one or a zero. You either do something or you don't. You walk out that door, you've decided to do nothing, to say no, which means you do not come back. You leave, you are no longer a part of this. You become a zero. If you stay, if you want to change the world, you become a yes. You become a one. So, I'll ask you again: are you a one or a zero?

quick explainer of spark statechain that WoS uses (h/t yah-noosh) a statechain is a 2-2 multisig: - alice deposits into statechain. she has custody. operator cannot steal - alice sends her private key to bob. statechain entity now has a keyshares with alice and bob. statechain can collude with alice and double spend bob. - to not do this, statechain must delete keyshare held with alice. if statechain does, bob has immediate custody of the funds - bob can never know if the statechain was actually honest. they can really only know once they withdraw funds from the statechain or when they get rugged when receiving funds, you have custody in the event that the operator set is honest. you can trust that they are honest, but you can never be sure. in terms of trust-minimized-ness: - spark = trusted, but you have immediate custody if operators are honest
