Fair enough. I don't claim to be a security expert. My father is and has shared some of these bits with me over time.
In the case of Bitcoin you would definitely have to rely on it not having a backdoor. If zeronet is the same then the same applies. I indicated that very same idea before. In the case of Bitcoin, I was saying you would have to scrutinize 3rd party, or build your own, mining software, and that there really isn't a way to scrutinize the full node / block chain itself. Kind of doesn't make sense to be phrases that way because everyone mining is checking the block chain / the full node all the time - that is what Bitcoin IS, a reward for confirming transactions in a block chain. PERIOD.
Not sure, maybe you can help compare and contrast zeronet versus Bitcoin in another thread or directly. I do know that cryptocurrency, especially Monero, is favored by the security community because of the private key use. But also that means there are no such thing as thieves, just "badmins" or people who are admins who the private key creator / original admin doesn't want to be admins. Just a technicality and nearly purely semantic I think.
I REALLY just jumped in to pose the Rube Goldberg / manual porting of information from an offline machine to an online one idea.. as a means to have portions of a process entirely offline. Specifically wallet / private key generation / storage. ALSO, to bring up the "middle man" hacking strategy to point out offline machines could become hacked when they come back online, etc.
