Cypherpunks, Anarchists, and Security Professionals can agree on something. Something we have agreed on for a long time, but fought viciously over. We need uses of computer networks to be moral. Our communities have been attacked for quite some time now.

Water.org Sustainability Funders Disrespect China
by Gunnar Larson 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

xNY.io recently compiled a Water.org Global Risk Assessment (below) a few years ago now. As true New York diplomats, xNY.io is absolutely required to be friendly innovators with the dignity and trail blazing, historic pioneering spirit of the e-CNY initiative. There is no association with xNY.io and e-CNY, however, we seem to share the ideals of to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life from regulatory arbitrage corruption. Water is life, for the human species. xNY.io, lucky in every way for our global marketplace position knows of a water assault on China. Given several factors, today as a disclosure technique we respect e-CNY outlining 'who may be a Water.org sustainability funder' ... So this hopefully will not affect xNY.io in the future. USDC and USDP are not our problem (people who know, know what this means). More research can be found here: https://chinapower.csis.org/china-water-security/ Water.org’s Key Institutional and Strategic Risks Water.org’s current risks and barriers to scale include concerns over misuse of loans, operational delays, fraud, error, and security, all of which undermine Water.org's objectives and mission. ● FRAUD: These deceptions often include manipulation of documents or the abuse of policies, procedures or office property. For example, in absence of a well-designed process for selection of a raw material supplier for the construction of toilets, operations staff can collude with dishonest suppliers and procure cheap, low-quality material at high rates, which could create infrastructure failures and lead to credit risk. ● ERROR: Errors are typically unintentional and result due to lack of staff capacity and training, rapid growth, limited technical resources, or an inadequate number of staff. Errors in judgement or incorrect interpretation of policies, procedures, documents, or cash transactions can create problems for an FI. For example, a branch manager might make an error in the appraisal of a WASH loan client if s/he has not received training on WASH lending. ● SECURITY: This refers to risk of cash or material theft. For example, for FIs that are involved in provision of construction materials, the storage of the materials and their delivery is a risk. ● INEFFICIENCY: Risk is created when there is low staff productivity or ineffective management leading to loss of efficiency. ● CREDIT RISK: An assessment of credit risk at Water.org investigated whether the credit policies and procedures are correctly followed and administered by the FI staff. This includes reviewing whether credit transactions are properly recorded and summarized in the account tracking system and presented in the financial and portfolio reports. For example, an FI in the Philippines had a loan product tenure of three months even though loan sizes were quite high. Clients who were assessed to be qualified for a loan of PHP 15,000 (US$340) ended up actually receiving nearly PHP 35,000 (US$793) over the course of a year, through multiple loan cycles. This flaw in the loan product design resulted in large-scale delinquency problems with clients in the third and fourth loan cycles Our Suggestion: Water.org 2.0, Blockchain and Energy Our research shows Water.org currently lacks developed, effective, accountable and transparent institutions reporting processes globally. Their published internal studies highlight FI corruption and bribery in all forms. Blockchain technology could help solve this, only implemented globally and monitored correctly. Most importantly, we strongly recommend Water.org executives should leverage blockchain and current partnerships, historically and radically innovating Water.org’s global scope to include solar energy in North Africa. ● Immediate Recommendation: Essential for Water.org’s global development reporting work to be organized and oriented in the same direction in order to focus on what really matters and ensure proper transparency and figures. Water.org has been working on the nieve, poor business assumption that goals can be achieved with enough political will, investment and action at all levels. ○ Integrated water resources reporting via Blockchain, include management smart contracts at all levels, including Water.org funds to FI, FI internal use of Water.org funds, client use of funds through to contractor ● Review Loan/Product Benefit: Water.org’s global executive team has not reflected the importance of complete sustainable development for their clients. Internal Data shows most Water.org wells/loan proceeds are ultimately lost, as the individual navigates life with unsolved energy and lack of access to basic economic/financial tools. ● Innovate Water.org’s Scope: Once defining clear and unified global standards, practices and reporting transparency on blockchain, eliminating current fiance transparency concerns ○ Microcredit water loans alone do not solve poverty (noted above) ○ Current UN research shows best poverty success advancement includes addressing three important dimensions simultaneously: i. Regular access to clean water/proper sanitation facilities ii. Access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy iii. Equal access to mobilized banking tools, insurance and microscred lending -- *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

Can D&O insurance improve corporate ESG performance? | Research Square
by Gunnar Larson 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

New research published out of China sends USDD type signs for D and O insurance concern. Insurance regulation out of New York may have significant conflicts being ignored at the expense of innovation. If China is USDD experts seemingly overnight, this new D and O paper (now less than one month old) shares similar themes ... https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-1641589/v1

[ot][spam][crazy][personal] Resistance: Nodes
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

My freshman year of college, before leaving, I spent some months in a state of mind where I was writing a data backend, planning to use it for an AI to problem solve and self-describe. I didn't know much of what I was doing, hadn't taken any classes in AI, I was into plants and mythology and whatnot. The flexible database I created has a normative name, I don't remember what it is. It's roughly similar to the opencog structures. Anyway, the idea is so general that the inhibition of it inhibits a lot of other things for me. It is incredibly hard for me to make a use a library for graph nodes with arbitrary tagged edges on them. The word "node" is inhibiting for me. One of the issues is that, after starting this for the purpose of an AI, I used the concepts to simplify and notate my thoughts, internally, and also on paper occasionally for hard concepts. So the inhibitions engage both cognition and power.

The Bitcoin Blockchain Fuel Saver... How to build your own fuel saver for diesel vehicles. (Not for lighter fuels like petrol but feel free to experiment.) SUPPLIES You will need at least 11 sheets of college ruled (orange) paper, scissors, tape and patience. The objective is to create four stacks of smaller rectangular pieces of paper. One hundred and fifty two pieces of paper for each block. GENESIS BLOCK Start by stacking 5 sheets of paper together and cut the third line from the bottom all the way across to get 5 strips, 3 lines wide. Then fold the top piece three times to get eight equal sections. Unfold the top piece and place back on the 4 other strips. Use the crease marks as your cut lines and begin cutting. Hold close to a table or something, as the pieces like to fly off while cutting. Repeat until you have completed cutting 4 strips (enough pieces to complete the first block). Then take out eight of those pieces and discard them(I usually don't use the pieces with the holes in them.), in order to get 152 in your first block. Next cut enough length of tape to go around the block twice and then cut that piece into skinny strips, as you don't want to cover much area over the block. Less tape covering the paper blocks is desirable. NEXT STEP Repeat the last step until you get 4 individual blocks of 152 pieces of paper completed and you're ready for the next step. Which is taping the blocks together in an offset pattern (50/50), so it will look like a staircase when completed. FINAL STEP With the last piece of paper you are going to wrap it up like a present, no bows needed... This is to keep the middle part clean, which is very important! (Must be discarded if it becomes dirty.) To properly destroy... cut apart and separate it into individual pieces. HOW TO USE Place the fuel saver near the cap of the fuel tank and walk away for about an hour? You can also rest it on the top of a single walled fuel tank as well. It can be held over the fill hole, with the cap off for a few minutes but do NOT DROP IT INTO YOUR TANK! See what works... as this part has not been tested that much. The fuel saver does not need to stay with your vehicle to work. In fact it would be better if you shared it with your friends. STORAGE It must be placed in a hard plastic storage container in order to stop it's effects. Gatorade bottle, Crystal Light, Etc... The unit becomes less effective with time (months), so share with your friends. OBSERVATIONS The effect (economy boost) lasts for quite some time, so you will not need to do this every fill up. However a few applications per year may be beneficial? Oil in the crankcase will also tend to collect more water after a treatment, so you don't want to do back to back treatments. Check your oil levels more often, as high oil levels can damage some engines. Maybe do the first treatment on your vehicle with it's tank half full and the oil at the half full level as well? Try to avoid applications during the rainy season/winter if possible? This information is experimental and if you use it, there are no guarantees of any kind! Use at your own risk! SKIP the rest... FINISHED... ____________________________________________________________________ If you wish to donate funds... some may go towards my other projects and the rest will be spent on myself. Please don't send me anything, if the information above didn't help you or your company! I will not put out any new addresses without new working projects to go along with them. Any other addresses should be considered to be scams and treated as such. 1Lu8VgHCpAAh6H1rxk9jsUaEGWKB3uJdGj 1BDZJK47znFCfFjQcLcicbWEURD8gKqwvw ______________________________________________________________________ Satoshi Nakamoto ______________________________________________________________________ Build it, test it... make Youtube videos... post on social media, as I cannot.

Fwd: GNUnet 0.17.0 released
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2022 08:18:34 +0000 Subject: GNUnet 0.17.0 released We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.17.0. GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and privacy-preserving distributed applications. Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the creation of a GNU internet. This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.15.x versions. Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a while) INCOMPATIBLE with the 0.15.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers will result in issues. 0.15.x peers will be able to communicate with Git master or 0.17.x peers, but some services - in particular the DHT - will not be compatible. In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. As a result, the 0.17.0 release is still only suitable for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. Download links: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.17.0.tar.gz The GPG key used to sign is: 3D11063C10F98D14BD24D1470B0998EF86F59B6A Note that due to mirror synchronization, not all links may be functional early after the release. For direct access try http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnunet/ Noteworthy changes in 0.17.0 (since 0.16.3): GNS: - FCFSD: Allow configuration of relative expiration time of added records. - Aligned with breaking changes in specification. DHT: - Aligned and reordered message formats. - Moved block type definitions to GANA - The specification has been updated to reflect the changes. UTIL: - Fix scheduler bug with same-priority immediately-ready tasks possibly hogging the scheduler. - Fix mysql/mariadb detection. A detailed list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog and the bugtracker at https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?project_id=13.
