Cryptocurrency: Costs of Fiat are Unsustainable Not Crypto, VZ Bitcoin Satellite, CloudFlare

The libertarian sort of nature of cryptocurrency will continue making larger impacts as time goes on. And thanks to decrypt.co for not using CloudFlare to block Tor users from reading their site. Too many crypto news aggregators and crypto services sites seem perhaps not aware of what their CloudFlare settings are doing in that regard. That's the whole point with satellite, privacy coins, etc... to route around silly censorship blocking. If people like decrypt.co, send them some satoshi for bandwidth, and get them setup with their own .onion / .i2p. > I must say congrats to Venezuela for the idea to > communicate via a satellite in space, > when Internet connectivity sucks. Yes, the leading distributed permissionless uncensorable privacy cryptos are all making cool progress in Venezuela, and in satcom and other comms, as posted in various fora... https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin+Bitcoincash+CryptoCurrencies+CryptoCurrenc… https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2020-September/082278.html > While I must admit that I am no longer a fan of crypto > currencies (huge global energy resources waste IMHO) And what analysis are people basing that on? It is clear that people are forgetting to add up ALL of the global resources wasted on supporting Fiat Currencies. That is an understandable oversight given that all of the major media and fraudulent anti-crypto "research" reporting on "energy resource waste"... (their analysis is funded by obsolete Banks Governments Corporations all dependant on each other to exist in Fiat)... typically only adds up the mining costs, and fails to do a comparison to Fiat at all, let alone a high quality honest comparison that strives to include... ALL of the... Electricity used by paper bill printing and coin stamping machines globally. All their shredders and smelters and mining and tree sawing and paper making chemical processes deforestation, the distribution channels, and gasoline, diesel, coal, oil, lubrication, maintenance. Pollution costs, lung cancer costs, physical waste costs. Safe storage and transport costs for "money". Printing employee costs, wasted closed market government dictated health care costs. Cash register, security cam, alarm systems electricity. And all that and *much* more is just for physicality of producing and handling with it. Then they did also forget to add up ALL the Bank building costs, maintenance, daily commute costs, wear on and pollution from their tires. The cost fees they steal from you to "hold" your money and move it around for you, 2 and 20 management, and the costs to get it back when they censor and lock your flow. All their computers on their desks, all their lights, all the electricity and chems used to process their feces that flow down their toilet sewers before it hits the river, oopsie. They forgot ALL the existence of Government "laws" around money... all the "law" editors, publishers, glitzy marble government buildings, $170k/year salary that Government "representatives" steal from you to waste hours debating Fiat on their floors, and dabbling in politically immune corruption. Cost of all the Fiat Bank lobbyists, their air travel, and so much more. Cost of prisons and loss of all your assets and property for using it to buy and sell harmless plants, or to exchange cryptocurrencies with each other without a "license". Then add up the entirely Government "leader" initiated WARS over monetary trade imbalances, to take out other "leaders" and easy centralized Fiat targets. Their epic initiations of murderous immoral force to steal more resources and trap up people to fund the "growth" needed to offset the crippling debt inherent with how Fiat is created by Central Banks and Govt without imploding. Go ahead... add it all up, ALL OF IT, all that wasted energy in the entire Global System of Fiat that is rapidly becoming obsolete by cryptocurrency. Fiat currency is so wasteful that it makes even a world based only on Gold and Silver, sans Govt involvement, look resource cheap in comparison to Fiat's all-in costs. Nor do people realize that in the long term, cryptocurrency can, does, and will run on little more, relatively speaking in comparison, than sand (silicon) and solar power. In fact, solar's free clean renewable input will be among few competitive ways remaining, with wind, and nuclear a bit more. And without Government in the way propping up energy legacies, and with open markets and self and other unsystem schooling options, uncensored peer to peer comms around the world, allowing people to see through GovCorp secrets and lies, and make new enlightened choices for their own Earth environment... crypto continues to look very good. Anyone trying to step to cryptocurrency talking the typical dishonest limited scope "energy waste" weaksauce will get destroyed by even armchair estimates of all-in costs.

Cypherpunks: There Are None Here (ex: Privacy 1984: Predictive Policing on the Rise)

> grarpamp, your posts are awesome work! Thank you. My posts, while noting obvious news for those without insight, are otherwise complete garbage, and are rightly offtopic filtered straight to trash by most. Further, hardly any discussions ever ensue from anyone's post, quite a very sad state of affairs given the variety of relatively charter relavant topics posted by whoever, for which 90% of your posts are completely offtopic and should be shitcanned by readers as such. Anyway, it is quite reasonably doubtful that any so called "Cypherpunks" or "Crypto Anarchists" or even any lesser Libertarians even exist here, at least effectively none who are remotely capable of bringing that game out to the public speaking activism sphere on how, among other things, that Peace Love and Crypto-Anarchism could work to bring a better world regarding any number of charter related topics, perhaps starting with simple AnCap Voluntaryism, or even just basic An-*. No, the list is more full of disgustingly silent Leeches, Journos searching for their next story, harvesting bots, sadistic Agents looking for their next entrapped life ruining and pointless bust, and GovCorp surveillance to preempt game and get 1-up headoff lead on future developments in history. > prayer, or more prayer Prayer is for the meek who shall not inherit anything in this Earth but their own sheepledom. Cypherpunks are not sheep, they write code and execute [on] program. Stop being fucking sheep.

Why could this list be a target for (paid) trolls?

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.

"... By "double agent", I meant that while throwing shit everywhere, you are also communicating with us [and that this doesn't always end well]. We're already all calling each other out as disruptors etc. Would you be willing to keep to one thread more with me, for the rest of the list to manage their email better? ..." That depends. Several c-punks have been jailed and had list activities mentioned in prosecutions. Any agent allegations need to be backed up. " Put up or shut up ". Also I will stop throwing shit when you stop. You first. "... Community folks are looking for how to guide their communities so that they don't get fucked up. We do not accept being pawns in international games. .." Don't you mean ' VOLK "? And you prawns are already fucked up to judge by your admitted grouping. " National borders are not even road humps on the information superhighway ' Old cypherpunk proverb

james donalds 'political philosophy'

His abuse of over the counter drugs caused brain damage, resulting outbursts of irrational violence. But should we therefore ban Robitussin for everyone? No, we should only ban it for blacks. The kind of people who buy drugs on the Silk Road are not the kind of people who cause problems by their drug consumption. Superior people need freedom. Inferior people need supervision." I'll be waiting for any actual 'cypherpunk' or libertarian to shred donalds 'philosophy' to pieces. I think I'm going to wait a looong time.
