How the NSA identified Satoshi Nakamoto
by grarpamp 16 Apr '25

https://medium.com/cryptomuse/how-the-nsa-caught-satoshi-nakamoto-868affcef… The ‘creator’ of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is the world’s most elusive billionaire (worth more than $7B as of November 2017). Very few people outside of the Department of Homeland Security know Satoshi’s real name. In fact, DHS will not publicly confirm that even THEY know the billionaire’s identity. Satoshi has taken great care to keep his identity secret employing the latest encryption and obfuscation methods in his communications. Despite these efforts (according to my source at the DHS) Satoshi Nakamoto gave investigators the only tool they needed to find him ... http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/ https://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/finneynakamotoemails.pdf

Why could this list be a target for (paid) trolls?
by Georgi Guninski 07 Mar '21

Why could this list be a target for (paid) trolls? I hear that this list is target of (paid) trolls and browsing it appears to support this. Why so? I don't see enough "value" in the list for such attack, short of just propaganda playground.

From the Assange indictment: Is there Extraterritoriality present in the Statutes the Indictment references?
by jim bell 04 Jan '21

From: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1153486/download 15(B) to intentionally access a computer, without authorization and exceeding authorizedaccess, to obtain information from a department and agency of the United States infurtherance of a criminal act in violation of the laws of the United States, that is, aviolation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 641, 793(c), and 793(e).(In violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 371, 1030(a)(l), 1030(a)(2),1030(c)(2)(B)(ii).) [end of partial quote] There is a principle of American law, upheld by the Supreme Court, that a Federal law is only supposed to be considered of "extraterritorial" application (applies outside the boundaries of United States territory) if the Congress specifically intended that application, and was signified by including such language within the law itself.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterritorial_jurisdiction × "In Morrison v. National Australia Bank, 2010, the Supreme Court held that in interpreting a statute, the "presumption against extraterritoriality" is absolute unless the text of the statute explicitly says otherwise." "https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2016/06/us-supreme-court-cont… http://www.virginialawreview.org/volumes/content/rjr-nabisco-and-runaway-ca… >From that: "The Supreme Court threw out the lawsuit after invoking the presumption against extraterritoriality. That canon of statutory interpretation instructs judges to assume “that legislation of Congress, unless a contrary intent appears, is meant to apply only within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.”[8] In applying the presumption in RJR Nabisco, however, a majority of four Justices[9] rejected multiple indications that Congress intended RICO’s private right of action to extend abroad[10] while raising the bar on what Congress must do to make its extraterritorial expectations clear.[11]" [end of quote] Understanding the presumption against extraterritoriality: https://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1170&conte… Very interesting: https://www.thefacultylounge.org/2019/04/some-thoughts-on-the-extradition-o… >From that:"THE RULE OF DUAL CRIMINALITY: Even if extradition is sought only under the computer intrusion indictment, it will still need to meet the test of dual criminality, found in Article 2, which provides that "An offense shall be an extraditable offense if the conduct on which the offense is based is punishable under the laws in both States." Although computer hacking is no doubt also a crime in the U.K., there is a further wrinkle of territoriality, because Assange's alleged offense was committed outside the United States. Another section of Article 2 provides:If the offense has been committed outside the territory of the Requesting State, extradition shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty if the laws in the Requested State provide for the punishment of such conduct committed outside its territory in similar circumstances. If the laws in the Requested State do not provide for the punishment of such conduct committed outside of its territory in similar circumstances, the executive authority of the Requested State, in its discretion, may grant extradition provided that all other requirements of this Treaty are met." Unlike the U.S., however, Britain apparently takes a strict view of territorial jurisdiction. According to The New York Times, Britain has already denied a U.S. extradition request for computer intrusion, on the grounds that the offense was committed on British soil and would therefore have to be tried in the U.K. [end of quote] 18 U.S.C. 641 does not appear to explicitly have an extraterritoriality reference. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/641 18 U.S.C. 793(c), nor the whole 793, does not appear to explicitly have an extraterritoriality reference. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793 × 18 U.S.C. 371 does not appear to explicitly have an extraterritoriality reference. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/371 18 U.S.C. 1030 does not appear to explicitly have an extraterritoriality reference. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030 Jim Bell

https://youtu.be/pPR-HyGj2d0 Patti Smith - People Have The Power I was dreaming in my dreaming Of an aspect bright and fair And my sleeping it was broken But my dream it lingered near In the form of shining valleys Where the pure air recognized And my senses newly opened I awakened to the cry That the people / have the power To redeem / the work of fools Upon the meek / the graces shower It's decreed / the people rule The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power The people have the power Vengeful aspects became suspect And bending low as if to hear And the armies ceased advancing Because the people had their ear And the shepherds and the soldiers Lay beneath the stars Exchanging visions And laying arms To waste / in the dust In the form of / shining valleys Where the pure air / recognized And my senses / newly opened I awakened / to the cry Refrain Where there were deserts I saw fountains Like cream the waters rise And we strolled there together With none to laugh or criticize And the leopard And the lamb Lay together truly bound I was hoping in my hoping To recall what I had found I was dreaming in my dreaming God knows / a purer view As I surrender to my sleeping I commit my dream to you Refrain The power to dream / to rule To wrestle the world from fools It's decreed the people rule It's decreed the people rule LISTEN I believe everything we dream Can come to pass through our union We can turn the world around We can turn the earth's revolution We have the power People have the power ...

[MINISTRY] [FREE SPEECH] [QUESTIONING (((THE NARRATIVE)))] grandma Haverbeck caught, 2 yrs jail
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

Grandma Haverbeck, who has for 70 odd years been humbly asking for evidence of the hallowed holy gas chambers (like, for example, something OTHER than the rickety wooden pailing-fence gates as the supposed doors of the Auschwitz gas chambers, or any other non refutable evidence for that matter...) went on the lam and the German "authorities" finally caught up with her. 2 years jail begins. https://dailystormer.name/germany-jews-catch-evil-nazi-grandma-who-asked-fo… Germany: Jews Catch Evil Nazi Grandma Who Asked for Evidence of Gas Chambers By the way, the Germans, prior to WW2, did in fact make gas chambers, and made them very firetrucking well thank very firetrucking much - reinforced, hermetically sealed stainless steel "submarine equivalent" doors thank you very much - a far cry from rickety wooden pailing fence gates masquerading as "gas chamber" doors. Good luck Ursula Haverbeck, may God and righteousness be with you. The sane world,

Ukraine: MH17 "escorted" by military jet just prior to BUK missile shoot down - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

So the Deep State fake news apparatus rumbles on whilst occasionally putting out a few facts which are so "problematic" they are immediately censored - in this case the BBC exposed an interview of two Ukrainian citizens who witnessed MH17 being "escorted" by a military jet just prior to MH17 being blown out of the sky, apparently by a BUK missile which had been in exclusive Ukrainian possession since a day after in left it's Soviet factory in 1986. Zerowedgie fills us in with an execessively wordy, yet sadly comical highlights from the 'Joint Investigative Team's own reports - ultimately unequivocally indicting Ukraine, the Netherlands, Belgium and also Australia dang it. Bemoaning the degradation of the West. So sad. MH17 Turnabout: Ukraine's Guilt Now Proven https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-01/mh17-turnabout-ukraines-guilt-now…

On target marketing and the ultimate programmer's monitor, and a marketing opportunity to any Samsung, LG or Sony wanna be
by Zenaan Harkness 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

A) There is one major step to "peak flat panel monitor" technology and that is active nano-aerials tuned per wavelength (RGB etc), which will eliminate the problems with various LCD (brightness, color gamut) and OLED (burn in) tech, from the point of view of programmers, digital graphic artists and other "dekstop" crowd computer users. We've seen this tech in development for a little while now, for example with articles over at New-Atlas: Nano antenna amplifies light by a factor of 1,000 https://newatlas.com/nano-antenna-amplifies-light/16460/ Optical antenna may allow LEDs to replace lasers in host of devices https://newatlas.com/nano-optical-antenna-led-laser-optical-communications/… Graphene optical lens a billionth of a meter thick breaks the diffraction limit https://newatlas.com/optical-lens-one-billionth-meter-thick/41588/ Single photon emission from graphene quantum dots at room temperature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05888-w Let there be light: Controlled creation of quantum emitter arrays https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170522080752.htm So no burn-in, tuned (perfect gamut) spectrum production, high lifetime and durability, maximum efficiency, infinite contrast (like OLED). That's active nano light emitting devices on the horizon, and what glorious ocular abundance we shall "soon" indulge in :) B) In the meantime, ye olde hacker or Gimp photo shopper "just wants" LOTS of pixels, a large display with lots of pixels, a curved display (really for anything beginning at ~40" (16:9 aspect ratio) and above, probably with a 21:9 super wide display format. Oh, and lots of pixels. So how large is ideal for a desk bound keyboard code jockey? Large enough to cover a goodly portion of muh field o' view! Probably around the 55" mark tops, may be a bit less, but again, it simply must be curved, and at an ideal viewing distance from screen of under a foot (30cm for the rest of the world thank you very much), we needs lots of precious pixels - "8K", but stretched out to 21:9, is: 8960 x 3840 pixels, around 50 inch diagonal, 21:9 aspect ratio That should be enough for anybody (with no apologies to anyone!). So lots of pixels. Finally, you can have either black or white external decor, but the inside edge MUST be held by white plastic! For those who sit real close (and use a top or bottom of screen button/ icon/ window bar), a black (or metal/gray) internal clamp holding that beautiful screen in place, is a notable shadow! So strict white on the inside to minimize "internal border" shadows, and black or white or as you please on the outside. Today we're on the way, with LG pumping out a rather nice but oddly un-curved ultrawide 5K2K monitor. If it were curved, I'da bin beggin, borrowin and savin to buy one, but since it ain't curved, there's just one too many deficiencies to bother: 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide® 5K2K Nano IPS LED Monitor with HDR 600 (34" Diagonal) https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34WK95U-W-ultrawide-monitor In other words, this monitor, if it were curved, is roughly two thirds of the ideal monitor: just give it white internal clamp sections to avoid those internal border shadows, and expand it to the above resolution and size and boom, we're done! 1st world "problems" hey?
