In our case, answer is: ``The time barrier is a necessary condition for loading the interface for user deploying their otherwise tacit knowledge.''. This rather technical statement translates more simply to: ``Time barrier becomes itself, duration in which user alive and well, is strictly necessary to access its stash''. That fact makes wrench attack more difficult to carry out.
\begin{question}{What am I actually buying with a subscription?}
Coercion-proof peace of mind: you outsource the \emph{time} component of TKBA via our \textbf{Anonymous Computation Marketplace}. Instead of tying up your own machine for hours or days, you pay an anonymous Provider to run the recurring, memory-intensive job.

\item \textbf{Deviceless (Knowledge-Based):} Your mind is your wallet. Access is tied only to tacit knowledge—not a device, seed phrase, or object.
\item \textbf{Individual Custody:} We uphold ``Not your keys, not your coins.'' You are always your own bank.
\item \textbf{Coercion Resistance:} Access requires time (e.g., 2–168 hours of computation) \emph{and} tacit knowledge (your private gameplay). An attacker has a deficit of time; forced access is impractical.
\item \textbf{Anti-Obscurity (Anti-Fragile):} Security increases as attackers learn about it; this knowledge becomes the deterrent.

Agreement error: either "anti-obscurity (anti-fragility)" or "anti-obscure (anti-fragile)".


Influenced by the myth of Satoshi Nakamoto, our community got overly attached to the idea of security through obscurity. We, however, are way passed the point in which Bitcoiners can simply go by needles in a haystack, and as adoption and value of Bitcoin continue to grow, effectiveness of obscurity will only rapidly drop to zero. We offer the solution: \textbf{security through anti-obscurity}.
\begin{question}{Is Great Wall a custodian? Do you ever have my keys?}
No. We are not a custodian and never hold your keys. TKBA is a key derivation scheme (like \href{https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki}{BIP39}); we provide the computation marketplace. Only you possess the tacit knowledge to complete access.

For extra clarity add:

"What you share with network is not necessary and not sufficient to complete derivation. What you keep offline is necessary and sufficient to complete the derivation."
