I notice Gmail warns emails to bitcointalk.org aren't encrypted in transit. Perhaps good to enable?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I feel like at the very least opportunistic TLS should be enabled for outgoing emails from the forum.

Yea it's very common these days for it to be enabled. No reason the forum doesn't have it. Gotta encrypt the entire net. Who can be contacted? Perhaps as you've donated you can do it?
