WP proposed deletion non-working crap

Hi, I just stumbled upon this. Why isn't there in this **box of crap** a working hyperlink to the page, where the discussion/voting regarding the deletion is taking place? Is it possible to participate without having to jump through this kind of hoops all the time? User:ScotXW t@lk, 16:12, 17 March 2014

RSA 32 bits?

One paragraph says that there's elliptic curve crypto with a strength around 32-bit RSA. But 32-bit RSA is almost no protection at all. That seems very suspicious. -- 50.136.155.136 ( talk) 00:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC) reply

Distributed ≠ Decentralized

In the technology section, it says

"Twister is a decentralized system, but instead of other networks of this kind (like pump.io / Identi.ca, StatusNet / GNU social or Diaspora), it doesn't require you to use your own server or doesn’t require you to trust on a third one in order to use it. It works as a peer-to-peer program."

As far as I known "distributed" is different form "decentralized." [1] [2] "Distributed" system is exactly the peer-to-peer model, while "decentralized" system is the model use in the fediverse (protocol: ActivityPub, OStatus,... platform: Mastodon, GNU social...). Twister fits the definition of "distributed" but not "decentralized". This paragraph take up a long explanation to imply an incorrect notation of Twister.

Please check my discussion and consider clarifying this problem here, in case there's no reply I will edit the Wiki page after a week. BrainchildHo 🧠👶Ho 💬 09:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC) reply

As no response regarding this matter has been made, I edited the detail as the following
