So....what happened to the "raid-proof" server array they were talking about in September? (https://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-runs-on-21-raid-proo...)
The only really tricky bit is "raid-proofing" secrets (Bitcoin/Namecoin private keys, DNS credentials), but Amazon and presumably other cloud providers are starting to offer HSMs. Or perhaps some combination of Shamir's Secret Sharing and multisig wallets + voting pools.
It's been too long since I've read it, so I forget what the actual point was.
Worked great too, unless you discount the whole "convert the earth into computronium" in later chapters implying it's origin from the same subsystems.
