They just have the wrong – they're making money, and that's what they're concerned about, and they're happy that they're making money, but it's really a big, giant waste.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30

My question is, you know, hackers are either –

1,329.535

One step behind current tech or keeping up with current tech.

SPEAKER_07
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
307
1,333.896
1,351.082
So what kind of security would keep a well-funded hacker to get to the list of codes and whatnot that will be used for the cloud coin?

SPEAKER_07
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
308
1,353.422
1,358.284
Well, so we have to use what's called inductive reasoning.

WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
309
1,359.352
1,367.855
And what we do is we have redundancy and our system is based on the root DNS servers.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30

1,368.995
1,372.116
So the root DNS servers are something that had been around since 1986.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
311
1,374.197
1,377.338
And since the time that they were created, they've never gone down.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
312
1,378.338
1,381.079
And there's 13 of them and they're in different parts of the world.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
313
1,381.82
1,383.7
And they've always had, they've never been hacked.

They've always had the right instructions.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
315
1,386.994
1,388.655
But they all have the same information on them.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
316
1,388.815
1,389.615
It's all redundant.

WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
317

If one goes down, you can just go to the other one.

SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
318
1,393.216
1,395.217
If you don't trust one, you can go to a different one.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30

And it runs the Internet.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
320
1,397.758
1,402.239
And so if I wanted to take down the Internet, I would take down these 13 servers.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
321
1,402.579
1,408.301
If I wanted to control the Internet, which every country wants to do, I would take over those 13 servers.

SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30

1,408.881
1,416.184
Because when I go to, say, CNN.com, for example, my computer doesn't actually go to CNN.com.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
323
1,416.983
1,419.584
it goes to an IP address of cnn.com.

WY
SPEAKER_10
WY_KVOW_2024_12_29_06_30
324
1,419.964
1,422.624
So it's got to look that up, and it goes to these domain servers.
