Limitations

Test a proposed architecture where it is most likely to disappoint: corrections, missing storage, unavailable signers, stale indexes, privacy mistakes, and the loss of a preferred gateway. This collection examines why broad promises of security, permanence, and censorship resistance need narrower operational definitions. Costs include staff time and recovery work, not just transaction fees. Use the articles to develop rejection criteria and a failure-focused pilot. A publishing design is more credible when it documents what it cannot establish and demonstrates the recovery paths it claims to offer.
