     @0xabad1dea makes perfect sense to me. they SHA256 your message with a random salt over and over until it starts with a specified number of zeroes.

     Then they encrypt it with a completely unrelated key, send a copy to Palantir and the Chinese communist party, and wait for the VC dollars to roll in.
