NYCCoin $9M Missing
by Gunnar Larson 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Right now, it seems there is roughly $8M missing from New York City's wallet <https://mining.nyc/wallet>. The wallet shows a balance of $21,644,313.49. Okcoin (Hong Kong based) is the only platform in the world to buy, sell and trade NYCCoin. Right now Okcoin is showing a balance of <https://www.okcoin.com/prices/nyccoin-nyc-price-chart?time_range=1H>$12.57M <https://www.okcoin.com/prices/nyccoin-nyc-price-chart?time_range=1H>. Okcoin notes that NYCCoin is down -92.46% on the week. NYCCoin is New York City's CityCoin. CityCoins are tokens built on top of the Stacks blockchain. Dear CEO of Stacks: How does one reconcile NYCCoin's missing wallet balance? Are you playing funny money with New York's titled cryptocurrency? #FBI -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

Data Security Damages Paid in Advance?
by Gunnar Larson 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Check out my new article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/data-security-damages-paid-in-advance/ NYCCoin and New York-based Stacks pose a billion dollar question: Are Hong Kong data rules the same as China data rules? We recently reported that former <https://litigationfinancejournal.com/chinas-social-justice-approach-to-liti…> Communist China has not been known for access to justice. In fact, recent protests in Hong Kong sprung up due to China’s Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation. Yet Communist China is experiencing a Social Spring (a transformation from Communism to Socialism). What role will China’s Communist roots play in future access to justice? The Cyberspace Administration of China <http://www.cac.gov.cn/2021-11/14/c_1638501991577898.htm> (and Hong Kong) issued new guidance on third-party products and services that cause damage to users. According to the Cyberspace Administration’s guidance, users can request Internet platform operators to pay compensation in advance for data violations. Hong Kong is the data hub for Stacks, where internet platform operators shall assume data security management responsibilities for third-party products and services connected to their platforms. Hong Kong mandates clarity of data security responsibilities for third parties through contracts and other forms, and urges third parties to strengthen data security management, and adopt the necessary data security protection measures. - Stacks’ strong third-party presence in Hong Kong extends to China. One of Stacks’ board members has served as a leader of a Shanghai based incubator. - Stacks maintains a legacy of top investors based in China. With a Hong Kong data warehouse, it is safe to say that NYCCoin powered by Stacks raises a few cybersecurity concerns. - The looming question is if Proof of Transfer (PoX) Stacks’ extension to Proof of Burn (PoB), where miners compete by ‘burning’ (destroying) a Proof of Work (PoW) from an established blockchain, is allegedly illegal in Hong Kong, under the Cyberspace Administration’s new guidance. PoX, when used for participation rewards (Such as with MIA Coin, NYCCoin and STX), could lead to miner consolidation. Because miners that also participate as holders could gain an advantage over miners who do not participate as holders, miners would be strongly incentivized to buy the new cryptocurrency and use it to crowd out other miners. In an extreme case, this consolidation could lead to a centralization of mining, which would undermine the decentralization goals of the public blockchain. China, along with Hong Kong, has outlawed various forms of threats to international peace and security. Hence, Hong Kong likely will support all reasonable TPF ligations up for consideration. -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

SONY to buy game-studio for 3.6 billion

Wonder who will buy REBEL? Or ROCK-STAR!? https://www.mail-archive.com/cypherpunks@minder.net/msg12865.html Grand Theft Crypto - relaunched Grand theft crypto is an F-box game engine from the the underground game-crew that bought you President Evil, Castle Wolfensen, Plane Murder and Doctor Rat. In stores for Christmas this game is a combination role-playing first peon shooter in a close but separate reality. Some revolutionary software has been stolen by the last-empire, a military/industrial combine thats taking over the planet. Targeting dissidents and code rebels stormtroopers of the empire are similar to 1st generation OSD robocops, while high up positions in the empire have been favored by players in field tests, the survival and resistance tactics and strategy of the rebels win over longer term players as they delve into the multi-verse world of 2006. Ricomended.

Dumbells threaten everyone
by professor rat 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

This 'quantum menace' thing was old by 2002 - yes, quantum computing threatens some popular proprietorial encryption. At the same time it delivers state-of-the-art cryptoanarchy for which the term quantum-decryption becomes the ultimate oxymoron. Some blowholes can't handle the anarchist truth. Timewasters - gasbags - a circle-of-eunuchs. Hi Jim.

Dumbfuck defiance from the spiderhole
by professor rat 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

This sort of thing has happened before. I'm so old I remember Saddam Hussein loudly braying for ' The Mother of all Battles ". The Fulton County Georgia Attorney General already has a special grand jury going against Trump for election crimes, and pretty clearly intends to indict him. Her job just got easier. Now she can point to Trump’s confession as proof that he intended to overturn the election when he called Georgia officials and told them he needed more votes. If Trump had any reasonable doubt defense by arguing that he was merely speaking wishfully or metaphorically during these conversations, that just got erased. Trump’s odds of conviction in Georgia just went way up. And for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/the-fulton-county-district-attorney-w…
