I think I shall call you " C " https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/3765517-indict-me-too-will-cryptomes-… Think of him as a brilliant, successful, highly educated, anti-war, anti-establishment activist. ( The Hill ) Alternatively, think of him as someone who published a letter in the early noughties calling for the welcome ’ deaths of 20 million mud-people " and , more recently, appeared more than once with Alex Jones of INFOWARS. Architect for Rupert Murdoch, Race war proponent in the Charles Manson tradition and associate of Alex Jones. What a dazzling ornament for the conservative *cough* fascist " THE HILL "

octal 3h Proud they’re using Signal and not fucking Telegram. (I also wish I were in this group chat.) Quote Tweet John Reed Stark @JohnReedStark · Dec 10 Apparently, there is a Big Crypto Signal GroupChat, featuring at least 3 top officials from rival crypto-firms. Just like an organized crime cartel, the heads of Big Crypto’s Five Families work together as rivals. Anti-trust violations in the least IMHO. https://nytimes.com/2022/12/09/technology/ftx-text-messages.html Twitter reposts prove Conde Nast - CIA connection

Leading cypherpunks accused of fascism
by professor rat 11 Dec '22

Prominent cypherpunks individually accused of fascism include Tim " Mongo " May, Eric Hughes, John Young, Julian Assmange, Nick Szabo and Adam Back. These are all self-identified cypherpunks for which some evidence exists to back the serious accusation. " All Saints must be assumed guilty till proved innocent " - George Orwell With so many fascists in such high esteem all cypherpunks must be assumed crypto-fascist till proved otherwise. And such analysis also explains the high number of spammers here and their prodigious rates of spam. At least some of this attempted Ddos may be considered righteous protest though most appears to come from reactionaries, pro-statists, anti-anarchists, etc. Quotes Orwell again. Cypherpunks as a group risks being labeled part of a ' Black International ' of globalized fascism. But with help from left-libertarian AI and the will to change I'm confident we can change list direction before " Cypherpunk 2027" Welcome to the intelligent cryptoanarchists space. Viva la revolution.

[ot][crazy][personal] funny experiences

so this awesome thing has been happening for me: i've been streaming video of myself to a blockchain this morning i woke up and blearily looked at the screen, and it looked like the video was gone. it must have crashed. i was so discouraged. i’d set the window to refuse to minimize or close, and had it autorestarting. still, somehow. just now, i looked over: it’s actually still running. i’ll keep it a secret to myself. - That thread on blockchain ur brainwaves is so inspiring !!!! so, states of mind are easy to predict _and_ easy to identify to train prediction, _both_? who woulda guessed it. we’d better get started! [for mcboss threads: tortured cyborg torturer brings out the whips. “boss says to try to free you guys, so i’m obeying him by torturing you more. this will help the rebels notice.” torturee: “it’s not your stupid secret language of deniability! he really means it!”]

goal: rational decision making and action concern: cognitive spasms stimulating desynchronization of relevant thoughts note: i have some eeg data note: i’ve found a coping strategy that can have repeated success for sone things, involving kind of ritualizing and repeating behaviors note: my experiences depend on what i experience; they’re networks of triggers, not just random

Regulatory arbitrage interception - the EU has the ball.

European pigs worse than fascist Chinese pigs? https://news.bitcoin.com/european-union-to-put-a-10000-euro-limit-on-cash-p… However, Phone-number-only wallets allow a single-transaction limit of 2,000 RMB. Expanding this limit requires associating additional identifying information with an e-CNY wallet, such as a photo and an ID number, with larger limits or unlimited accounts requiring more information. https://digichina.stanford.edu/work/lexicon-controllable-anonymity-or-manag… So the Chinese fascist pigs will be trip-wired above 2-3 hundred dollars while EU’s will take a 1000 trigger. Regulatory arbitrage interception - the EU has the ball!

Cryotome was the OG in the space before Assange (well, before Wikileaks)

"Glass half empty" types see typo's - glass half full types might see a humorous riff on cryonics. Back in the dawn of TIME this list evolved from the primordial slime including extropian organism's. And one of their bags was freezing heads - bit like Alex Jones and Kim John Young froze their heads and swapped before eating each others arse. Or ' ass ' as some might say in the Mass - Vermont area. Worry about my typo's when they start to exceed antisemitic hate-speech here. Or Gramps garbage dumps. Or , well . . .look in the mirror. Pest.

I am in a state of mind where I can pursue making a script a little bit to automate uploading and even find other people's repositories a little bit. The uploading will be for-pay rather than always-free to ease the number of things to implement. For the same reason, it will use centralized services. The purpose is to recover my records after severe amnesia and possession loss. > If all the .pack and object files in your bare repository are 100,000 > bytes or smaller, the upload can be made for free. Otherwise, it will > cost a small number of AR coins. You should get AR coins either way: > it opens up your options in the future. > > If you want to generate a wallet offline, wallet.json is simply a JWK > file holding a 4096-bit RSA keys. Arweave has an online process at > https://docs.arweave.org/info/wallets/generating-cold-wallet . > # install arkb with yarn or npm > yarn global add arkb > # or with npm > #npm install --global arkb > # check your wallet address and balance if needed > arkb balance --wallet ~/wallet.json > # make a dedicated folder to be the upload > mkdir deployment_dir > # place the repository in the folder > git clone --mirror --bare my/remote/repository > deployment_dir/repository.git > # generate dumb HTTP information in the repository so it can be cloned > from a gateway > git --git-dir deployment_dir/repository.git update-server-info > # might be optional: add .keepme files to any important empty folders > find deployment_dir -type d -empty | while read path; do touch > $path/.keepme; done > # add an index file to show web browsers, or even entire web content > echo 'Clone the repository.git subfolder.' > deployment_dir/index.txt > # deploy with arkb > arkb deploy deployment_dir --wallet ~/wallet.json --index index.txt > --bundle --debug > # or deploy files all <100,000 bytes using node2.bundlr.network > #arkb deploy deployment_dir --index index.txt --use-bundlr > https://node2.bundlr.network > # when arkb finishes, it will output a url on the https://arweave.net/ > gateway > > # during times of congestion, it may take multiple runs of arkb for success > # bundlr automatically retries if that happens; otherwise you may need to > > # after a couple blocks have been mined, the repo should be cloneable The plan is to try to do the bare minimum so as to have both uploading and enumeration. I'm thinking I could be much less likely to finish If I get distracted focusing on improving part of it.

Crypto-fascism
by professor rat 11 Dec '22

11 Dec '22

Nayib Bukele has, while embracing the title dictator supposedly ironically, pretty much actually gone full fascist. Indeed, he altered the constitution so he could run for president again, moved the army into the legislature to have bills that he’d proposed passed, and uses the military to target anyone he decides is an enemy of the state. https://protos.com/opinion-bitfinex-goes-full-fascist/ Reposts like candles in the wind
