Institute of Cryptoanarchy is a fraud on the public
by professor rat 24 Aug '22

24 Aug '22

Institute of Cryptoanarchy – Paralelní Polis (paralelnipolis.cz) is promoting phony-baloney cyber-agorism. Such nonsense that died out here 20 years ago - and was literally interred with Mongo in 2018! By then its corpse was a Mummy. Agorist freedom without anarchism is nothing but privilege, injustice and scumbag entitlement. Take Ross Ulbricht - please. Even an Agorist moron, Murray Rothbard had more sense than this SEAR Are Libertarians "Anarchists"? | Mises Institute " From each according to their gullibility - to each according to their greed "

Satellite Quantum key distribution.
by jim bell 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

https://phys.org/news/2022-08-compact-qkd-paves-cost-effective-satellite-ba… Researchers experimentally demonstrated a space-to-ground QKD network using a compact QKD terminal aboard the Chinese Space Lab Tiangong-2 and four ground stations. Credit: Cheng-Zhi Peng, University of Science and Technology of China Researchers report an experimental demonstration of a space-to-ground quantum key distribution (QKD) network using a compact QKD terminal aboard the Chinese Space Lab Tiangong-2 and four ground stations. The new QKD system is less than half the weight of the system the researchers developed for the Micius satellite, which was used to perform the world's first quantum-encrypted virtual teleconference.The demonstration represents an important step toward practical QKD based on constellations of small satellites, a setup considered one of the most promising routes to creating a global quantum communication network. "QKD offers unconditional security by using single photons to encode information between two distant terminals," said research team member Cheng-Zhi Peng from the University of Science and Technology of China. "The compact system we developed can reduce the cost of implementing QKD by making it possible to use small satellites." Peng and researchers from other institutions in China describe their new system and experimental results in Optica. They also found that QKD performance can be boosted by building a network of satellites orbiting at different angles, or inclinations, in relation to the equator. "Our new work demonstrates the feasibility of a space-ground QKD network based on a compact satellite payload combined with constellations of satellites with different orbit types," said Peng. "In the near future, this type of QKD system could be used in applications that require high security such as government affairs, diplomacy and finance." The researchers created the compact payload—shown here in ground experiments— that allowed the Tiangong-2 Space Lab to act as a satellite QKD terminal. It included a tracking system, QKD transmitter and a laser communication transmitter. Credit: Cheng-Zhi Peng, University of Science and Technology of China Shrinking the QKD system QKD uses the quantum properties of light to generate secure random keys for encrypting and decrypting data. In previous work, the research group demonstrated satellite-to-ground QKD and satellite-relayed intercontinental quantum networks using the Micius satellite. However, the QKD system used aboard that satellite was bulky and expensive. About the size of a large refrigerator, the system weighed around 130 kg and required 130 W of power. As part of China's quantum constellation plan, the researchers sought to develop and demonstrate a more practical space-ground QKD network. To do this, they developed a compact payload that allowed the Tiangong-2 Space Lab to act as a satellite QKD terminal. The QKD payload—consisting of a tracking system, QKD transmitter and a laser communication transmitter—weighed around 60 kg, required 80 W of power and measured about the size of two microwave ovens."This payload was as integrated as possible to reduce volume, weight and cost while achieving the high performance necessary to support space-to-ground QKD experiments," said Peng. "It also had to be very durable to withstand harsh conditions such as the severe vibration experienced during launch and the extreme thermal vacuum environment of space." The researchers performed a total of 19 QKD experiments during which secure keys were successfully distributed between the Space Lab terminal and four ground stations on 15 different days between October 2018 and February 2019. These experiments were conducted at night to avoid the influence of daylight background noise. The researchers found that the medium (~42°) inclination orbit of the space lab allowed multiple passes over a single ground station in one night, which increased the number of keys that could be generated. They also built a model to compare the performance of satellite-based QKD networks with different orbit types. They found that combining satellites with a medium-inclination orbit like the space lab with a sun-synchronous orbit that travels over the polar regions achieved the best performance. Satellite-based QKD transmission could be used to create a highly secure global quantum communication network. Credit: Cheng-Zhi Peng, University of Science and Technology of China Next steps The researchers are now working to improve their QKD system by increasing the speed and performance of the QKD system, reducing cost, and exploring the feasibility of daytime satellite-to-ground QKD transmission. "These improvements would allow a practical quantum constellation to be created by launching multiple low-orbit satellites," said Peng. "The constellation could be combined with a medium-to-high-orbit quantum satellite and fiber-based QKD networks on the ground to create a space-ground-integrated quantum network." Although not part of this work, an even smaller quantum satellite developed by Hefei National Laboratory and University of Science and Technology of China and other research institutes in China was successfully launched into space on July 27. This satellite, known as a micro/nano satellite, weighs about a sixth the weight of the Micius satellite and contains a QKD system that is about a third of the size of that demonstrated in the Optica paper. That satellite is designed to carry out real-time satellite-to-ground QKD experiments, representing another important step toward low-cost and practical quantum satellite constellations.

Blake Masters needs killing ( My 2000 sats )
by professor rat 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Arizona GOP senate candidate Blake Masters often cites his own business record as a model for his hardline anti-China policies, claiming that as an investor he had not raised money for “a single startup” in China, and wanting to “literally ban” Chinese nationals from working for U.S. companies out of national security concerns. One problem. It turns out, Masters has participated in multiple funding rounds for a Chinese biomedical startup—including alongside Chinese Communist Party investors. He also had business ties to a second, U.S.-based medical company when it was honored by a CCP-backed organization. Both relationships came through Thiel Capital, where Masters worked under his mentor and “best friend” Peter Thiel since 2014 THERE he goes! GET HIM!

COVID-19 was a part of this whether released accidentally or not - once it was out it was weaponized by several weeks cover-up in the finest left-fascist traditions of Leninism. And now the temptation must be overwhelming - soften up the decadent Western Imperialists with reams of Jim Bell style bombast, then crack all our old crypto with their latest quantum-computers while keeping their own ' FREE YUAN!" digital economy secure through QKD. The fascist Chinese get what they want - economic chaos in the West - while the price of insider speculators QKD secure crypto goes through the roof. Thanks Gym Dumb-Bell for your Odd-Job!

And if you can't wait for the phone implant in the brain aLa ' The Presidents Analyst " well, I refer youse back to Comey 2016 - he asked Silicon Valley for a back door available to law enforcement in all devices globally. Decentralized escrow or Multi-sig is a perfectly sound way to proceed along these lines. However, I said at the time having just one or two other FBI approved agencies tasked with managing such a system would not work. It would need more like a billion all around the globe - each agency - or node - controlling the decryption keys for about 512 individuals. And as an offset for consenting to FIVE-EYES style LEO access through a warrant from a respected source ie not the DPRK police, the Saudi or Iranian religious police, the CCP red army, Russian FSB, Myanmar, etc, etc, etc ad nauseum, the democratic secular parties involved would presumably want to be compensated. The logical play is to shovelware in the ultimate tracking technology - a global central-bankster-backed mother or all shitcoins , in the form of a regular airdrop - UBI by another name. " Its free electronic money and always will be ". Such a system would provide 5 billion people with extreme convenience and security as approved by the likes of OG cypherpunk, Vinay Gupta. Such a system would even help my project for CYPHERPUNK 2027 since it would rapidly lead to massive digital money laundering, counter-surveillance and neutralization of all Draconian law courts and LEO's, basically it could only hasten the coming crypto-anarchy, much more than hinder it. Any problems it creates will also easily be solved by the new quantum crypto regime and associated super-strong AI indistinguishable from benign wisdom at a higher plane - TL/DR next level encrypted internet will rock your world.

Drugs: Columbia's Petro - War On Drugs Is Fail, Vows To Decrim and Push UN
by grarpamp 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Decriminalization is fine, yet still "legal" "regulation" "taxation" "permitting" of non-aggressing people by murderous govts is not. "The War On Drugs Has Failed": Colombia Looks To Decriminalize Cocaine https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/20/colombia-cocaine-decriminal… Colombia, the world's largest producer of cocaine, and the origin of more than 90% seized in the United States - is considering decriminalizing the drug in an experiment to end Washington DC's never-ending "war on drugs," according to the Washington Post. Colombian Army examining a cocaine pack confiscated by troops. Thomson Reuters After just two weeks in office, the country's first leftist government has proposed an end to "prohibition" - in what would become the first government-regulated market for cocaine. Officials would work with other leftist governments in the region via legislation and alliances in order to "turn their country into a laboratory for drug decriminalization." "It is time for a new international convention that accepts that the war on drugs has failed," said President Gustavo Petro in his inaugural address this month. Colombian President Gustavo Petro gestures during his swearing-in ceremony at Plaza Bolivar in Bogotá on Aug. 7. (Luisa Gonzalez/Reuters) The move would likely upend the country's long-standing (and profitable) counternarcotics relationship with the US - whose officials, both past and present, are sounding the alarm. A former DEA official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because his current employer had not authorized him to speak on the matter, said he feared the move would limit the agency’s ability to collaborate with the Colombians on drug trafficking investigations. “It would incrementally kill the cooperation,” he said. “It would be devastating, not just regionally, but globally. Everyone would be fighting from the outside in.” -WaPo Jonathan Finer, Biden's White House deputy national security adviser, who met with Petro in the US before his inauguration, said that "the United States and the Biden administration is not a supporter of decriminalization." The United States has spent billions of dollars to fund a strategy to seek and destroy cocaine plants in the fields of rural Colombia, with US intelligence and other agencies having provided support to Colombia's decades-long military efforts to rid the country of coca, the plant from which cocaine is derived. Despite more than half-a-century at war on the drug, cocaine production has hit record levels according to recent figures. Petro's drug czar, Felipe Tascón, says this is a rare opportunity to unite the governments of cocaine-producing countries such as Peru and Bolivia, which are similarly led by leftists. In his first interview since being named to the job, the economist said he wants to meet with his counterparts in those countries to discuss decriminalization at the regional level. Eventually, he hopes a unified regional bloc can renegotiate international drug conventions at the United Nations. Domestically, Petro’s administration is planning to back legislation to decriminalize cocaine and marijuana. It plans to put an end to aerial spraying and the manual eradication of coca, which critics say unfairly targets poor rural farmers. By regulating the sale of cocaine, Tascón argued, the government would wrest the market from armed groups and cartels. -WaPo "Drug traffickers know that their business depends on it being prohibited," said Tascón, adding "If you regulate it like a public market … the high profits disappear and the drug trafficking disappears."

[ot][crazy][spam][fiction] Dictatortopia
by Undiscussed Groomed for Male Slavery, One Victim of Many 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Dictator: [n] A controversial word that everybody gives different definitions to and nobody likes. In this thread, "dictator" means a single mean person who uses force, fear, and deception to lead themselves to believe that everybody in an area is doing what they want. Dictators here have secret people of their own, telling them what to do, too, either in their heads or in reality. Welcome to Dictatortopia, a land where we pride ourselves in our incredibly dystopic, oppressive nature! You're gonna love it! It's like one of those fancy shmancy computer games, postapocalyptic movies, or wartime propaganda regarding the foreign nation your government is fighting, except it's _real_ ! In Dictatortopia, everybody wears a gas a mask and huge images of Dictator are plastered everywhere. Dictator always has a frown on. Everybody is happy, because they are so excited to be roleplaying an oppressive nation state! Each citizen has a personal "mini-dictator": another citizen, assigned to them, who tells them everything to do, from morning to night. This forms a large hierarchy with Dictator himself at the top. Meanwhile, be your own Dictator! Enslave your neighbors, your children: anybody assigned to you. Your personal mini-dictator will tell you whom you will yourself be mini-dictator of.

Cryptocurrency: Inflation Is Quietly Stripping Us Of Our Private Property Rights
by grarpamp 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/inflation-is-quietly-stripping-us Inflation Is Quietly Stripping Us Of Our Private Property Rights I used to scoff at the mention of ‘The Great Reset”, or the idea that a handful of elites are running the global show behind the scenes. Needless to say, on the other side of the pandemic, I have warmed up to the idea in a big way. I can’t help but feel as though some often talked about conspiracy theories are in the process of unfolding right before our very eyes, whether via premeditated means or just from plain old dumbass incompetence from global politicians and Central Banks. As anybody who is harshly critical of the idea of a “Great Reset” will tell you, one of the key tenets of a post-apocalyptic, Klaus Schwab-run world is the idea that we will no longer have private property rights. This comes from a statement that Schwab made, predicting what life would be like in the year 2030: “You’ll own nothing” — And “you’ll be happy about it.” And while today’s lesson is rather elementary, it’s worth noting that this conspiracy theory not only isn’t too far from the truth, it could very well be in the midst of taking place right before our eyes. I had to look no further than my own personal circle to find recent examples of grown adults who were having difficulty making ends meet due to rising prices. These people had some money saved up, but still could not keep up with the price of rent and housing, and ultimately wound up giving up on having their own place and moving back home with their parents. When I was discussing this example on my most recent podcast, I had the revelation that, as is true with anything economic, this same situation was playing out millions of times over, with millions of other Americans, every day. In other words everyone is having the same problem: they simply can’t afford things anymore and, with inflation at between 8% and 9%, the value of their savings is collapsing. In just 3 years, things cost between 15% and 20% more than they did when many savers were putting away a majority of their money - before the pandemic. The purchasing power of the dollar is down by about 20% over the same time. USD Purchasing Power (5 Years) via TradingEconomics.com Those who are still working on a wage that isn’t 20% higher than it was just 3 years ago are losing significant ground. Those who have stopped working and are either on a fixed income or are living off savings have been hit even worse (especially if you’re living off a pension managed by some of the absolute worst managers to ever step foot in front of a Bloomberg terminal, like this one and this one). This financial pressure is widely talked about when it comes to people paring back their discretionary spending. We hear the news talk about a slowdown in spending all the time when economic times get tougher - it’s one of the dynamics that creates recession and de-leveraging cycles. But what happens when it’s the cost of shelter (i.e. rent and housing) and real estate that are also getting too expensive for everyday buyers. This is talked about far less, so let’s quickly think about what it could mean for the future. Today’s article is free because I believe the content to be too important to put behind a paywall. If you enjoy this piece, have the means and want to support my work, I’d be humbled to have you as a subscriber: Yes, I want 70% off a subsription. In Klaus Schwab’s future, borrowing the words of Judge Smails, “you’ll get nothing and like it!” We are all Spaulding It’ll be this way because everything will be communal and shared. The focus will be taken away from private property and private property rights. Inflation helps this narrative greatly. If you have less purchasing power to buy discretionary items then, by proxy, you have less private property. The scary thing is when this dynamic starts to extrapolate itself over people’s real estate and land ownership. In other words, a future where nobody can afford a second set of golf clubs doesn’t seem that post-apocalyptic, but a future where fewer and fewer people own land and house, and where the geographical distribution of the world’s livable area starts to fall into the hands of the richest few and state backed entities - well, this seems extremely post-apocalyptic. While I admit this is a bit “fringe” at the moment (hey, it’s what I do), I now can’t help but think of inflation as a way to help strip away people’s individual private property rights. When you take away a person’s private property, private property rights don’t hold the same meaning to them. Do people that don’t want to own guns care about the right to own guns? Probably not as much as those who are avid sportsman or want to own guns for personal protection. If you haven’t yet, I would encourage you to listen to my most recent podcast with Andy Schectman, where he lays out the de-dollarization path we could be on and how the global economic landscape is shifting before our eyes. In his estimation, everything that needs to be happening for ‘The Great Reset” to take place on or ahead of schedule is already happening. And as I said to him, while I may have laughed at the idea a couple of years ago, I found myself with my jaw agape by the end of the interview – because as much as I didn’t want him to, his post-apocalyptic scenario was making a whole lot of sense. I know this is somewhat of a basic lesson in economics, but the next time you hear the Biden administration refer to inflation at 0% sequentially, despite the fact that it was up more than 8% from the year prior, take it personally. Remember that every positive CPI print we see represents the percentage of things you can buy less of with the same money you had a year prior. If you could afford 8% more “stuff” last year with the same dollar, what type of mental gymnastics do you need to perform to convince yourself that your rights to private property aren’t being whittled away and taken out from underneath you?
