Also false information, which is dangerous for space data.

It is a great thing, all need to involve ourselves in making this a reality. Asgardia needs to improve the education of it citizens.

that is against the share-technology principle I suppose. May I suggest MOOCS free but lessons with teachers at payment (for non-asgardians I mean)?

Backup

If Asgardia is to be a mainly digital Community for the foreseeable future, then should it not be a requirement to perform regular backups of the forum and websites. Also to further support any future digital infrastructure that the nation may come to rely on, I propose Asgardia uses its ...

Orbit would be better IMHO. Harder to physically gain access. The backup strategy/policies in place have been specifically requested, but for some reason - quite likely the security policy from the 1970's - this has not been divulged. After demonstrating there's no thought placed into the initial storage of the ...

Signing

How should Asgardians legalize agreements or contracts. Should Asgardia use written signature; digital signature; seals? If we are to be an inclusive society and nation, we should allow for citizens of different cultures legally recognize documents (such as contracts; marriages etc.) in an appropriate manner. In Mainland China (Peoples' Republic ...

The specification listed wasn't "unbreakable" (though I wager some will take that long it's sufficient to be treated as. Especially layered.) but "more secure" than a simple seal in a wax or similar. An RFID or similar chip on it's own is increadibly easily spoofable, and here's where the cryptography ...

There are no real unbreakable codes, or cyphers, or cryptographies. For the common person, a combination of something physical, and something mental, should suffice. A RF chip with a password, or symbol, or numeric combination, or some combination should be sufficient. If it is tile-based, a symbolic password would be ...

Teaching that religions exists, or have existed. Obscurantism is worse than everything.
Teaching that we already wasted too much time with this.
Teaching than we finally have much more interresting things to do for Asgardia

I had no intention of jeopardizing the website in any way with the link. I chose it because it seemed relevant to the theme of the website when it comes to humanity's life expectancy if a project like this doesn't exceed what it has proposed.

Actually, I'm kind of in agreement to the stance Phicksur holds. It's not as if you can tell what it is by the link itself, and randomly clicking things isn't wise - especially if you're one of the masses that tends to execute code as default. I personally wouldn't (and ...
