Good work with the DPL! I visited the site a few weeks ago and saw it was coming along very nicely. I do have a concern about buy-in costs though. Are you planning on ever lowering the costs to cheaper than 1 bitcoin? At the current price, many can't afford to make a prediction. If you lowered, more people would participate and the pool would grow larger, more quickly. Just a thought.

The only real defense normal people have is transparency. The only people who can afford privacy are the ones shouting the loudest that we all have an inalienable right to keep shit secret, while they quietly tap our phones, bank accounts, cryptocoin wallets, and new media.

Replacing corporate search engines with anonymous/decentralized search
by Jesse R. Taylor 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Recently there has been a lot of focus on the importance of developing more secure alternatives to email, instant messaging, browsing, etc. ... but I've seen very little focus on the need for development of alternatives to corporate search engines. Corporate/state control of the Internet involves a three pronged strategy of: mass surveillance, censorship/criminalization of undesirable ideas, and traffic shaping (i.e. directing people away of things you don't want them to see, and towards things you do). Corporate search engines are implicated in all three of these, i.e. they: 1) Monitor what we are searching for 2) Censor websites by removing them from search engine indexes 3) Shape traffic via non-transparent algorithms that can sort search results in a way that grants prominence to certain types of sites (corporate media, etc.), in order to suit the interests of multinational corporations and governments. ... so obviously, developing alternatives to corporate search is every bit as crucial for protecting privacy and free speech as encrypting our emails/chats, and anonymizing our browsing ... But I've seen very little information about practical/simple options that are available for anonymous and decentralized Internet search software. I've only been able to find a few examples like YaCy, but they all seem overly complex and unusable by the vast majority of users. What are the major barriers to creating simple tools (e.g. a plugin for Firefox) that would enable users to perform anonymous, p2p web search (even if it's much slower than centralized search) and break away from using corporate search? Which current efforts to create decentralized search seem most promising to you from a privacy/security standpoint? -- Jesse Taylor

Fwd: Email is unsecurable - maybe not?

More direct junkmail... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Doug McFetters <dmcfetters(a)shazzle.com> Date: Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 2:06 PM Subject: Email is unsecurable - maybe not? To: grarpamp(a)gmail.com Hello I ran across the Nov 25 blog post on RandomBit.net titled ‘Email is unsecurable.’ I think we have pretty much developed what was imagined here. We identified the same flaws with email and came up with sending p2p tossing aside client/server architecture and using the sender’s smartphone as a server. And, like it was suggested, we don't send until someone comes up on line. App is free for consumers with iOS or Android device. Currently have tools for POP3/SMTP clients or our own slimmed down email client. Would love for you to try it out and let us know what you think. Or happy to hop on a call to discuss in more detail.
