What keeps pulling me back to Sign Protocol is a simple thought, what happens when systems don’t behave the way we expect?
Under normal conditions everything is fine. Documents are available and business is efficient or documents can be verified with ease. However, the actual pressure manifests itself in disruptions. The networks crash the systems become slow access is unstable. It is there that most of the setups begin to demonstrate their endurance.
The thing that impressed me the most about $SIGN is that it does not depend on one direction. The information does not vanish or fall apart even when one of its parts fails. One can still as certain it else where in a clean and reliable way. Such resiliency is more of a characteristic than a need particularly in systems that humans rely on on daily basis.
Since infrastructure is not tested at the time when things are easy at the end of the day. It is put to test when things are wrong. And those systems that stand in such a time are the real ones.
