陌生人读一遍就能懂的定义。
不为术语而术语。每个条目都以一两句定义开篇,任何技术上有素养的成年人都应当能读一遍就明白。更长的叙述放在后面,提供背景。

在本站,有五个词承担了大量工作:KYC、no-KYC、Monero、令状金丝雀、DDoS 缓解。每个词都有一页简短说明:它的含义、我们为什么在意,以及它在本站上真正发挥作用的位置。
不为术语而术语。每个条目都以一两句定义开篇,任何技术上有素养的成年人都应当能读一遍就明白。更长的叙述放在后面,提供背景。
这些词大多在营销中被滥用。「No-KYC」并不等于「匿名」;「Monero」并不等于「不可追踪」;「DDoS 缓解」并不等于「DDoS 免疫」。每个条目都会划清界线。
孤立的定义只是琐碎信息。每个条目都以「它在本站上的出现位置」收尾——理念、司法管辖页、VPS 目录、那篇真正在动用这个术语的指南。
随着新词在本站上承担起更多分量,会有更多条目加入。如果某个定义还没出现,那是因为我们还没有挣到使用那个词的资格。
