ITT we think about the theory behind "uncensorable" forum.
Can it be done theoretically?
a naive method:
client uploads data = encrypt(message,clientpass)
server stores data and replies with sign(hash(data),serverpass)
client replies with clientpass or supplies clientpass when downloading messages.
now .... when the server deletes data, the submitter might be able to prove that the server should have stored it instead (by providing the signature).. but if the submitter isn't around nobody else is going to automatically pick up on the fact that messages are missing from the board.
i think there might be a better way to go about this, trying to figure it out
