As USA etc becomes mining and staking capital of world, all your transactions will be blocked by US GovCorp law and whim. This is obvious in recent GovCorp strategies, and intentional. Atomic Swaps, Cross-Coin DEX, Privacy Capable Coins, Overlay Network Plugins. Adopt them now, or lose all your [Monetary] Freedom.

Aaron Van Wirdum and Adam Back's extreme racism on display
by professor rat 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Aaron sez Mongo saw C-punks as similar to the Black Panthers. And Back's silence might be taken for assent. This level of list revisionism could give any casual observer whiplash. Far closer to the truth to say May was a ' fascist " ( Jake Appelbaum ) and those who cover for him may be assumed to share his Nazi-like views on ' Mud People ". Such lies will not stand - and these two will pay dearly for this.

Private APster Vs Public
by professor rat 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Seeing every journalist, without exception, fixate on APster as a private ' Black Box ' system from 1995 to the present day is odd but I guess its hard to make anyone understand something when their rotten, corrupt, lowly disgusting job depends on them NOT understanding it. Practiced liars-by-omission too. Like those Bitcoin Magazine low-lifes that would trade essential crypto-anarchy for bogus 'cyber-liberty '. Naturally they will get neither.

Iraqi prime minister survives assassination attempt with armed drones

Jim, please - you know Karl has a sensitive stomach! Of course if the PM had a AP-Sat-phone equipped with the latest Daltonite fiber-optics he could have reprogrammed the hunter to become the hunter-seeker. And now every Assassinphone 2021 comes with this - New! - " Shadout Mapes " home-security, killer-by-remote-control, software preloaded; it opens and closes smart-doors at random to protect against assassin-drones. Those who can destroy a thing can control a thing.

This bs Bitcoin Magazine "tension between privacy and scarcity " exposed
by professor rat 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Jeff Epstein, sorry, Jim Epstein, sorry, Alex GLADSTEIN: I guess, what I want to get at here is that you start to see this concept of scarcity come in, and there's been this tension between privacy and scarcity, always. Not just technologically and from an engineering trade-off perspective, but also culturally, because it seems like even today, a lot of the privacy community is hostile to the scarcity component of Bitcoin. .." Cryptoanarchy assumes privacy is not a scarce good - " privacy for the poor - transparency for the powerful '. And Bitcoin's divisibility makes it crypto-anarchist 'enough' to catalyze an ongoing world revolution. Bitcoin is divisible by up to eight decimal points and, if required, the divisibility of bitcoin can be increased to 100 billion smaller parts. Don't piss liquidity on our leg and tell us there's a credit-squeeze.

Missing Oregon mom dead, daughter alive

https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/missing-oregon-mom-found-dead/283-39… Jim Bell's comment: Might satellite 911 have saved them? A few weeks ago, someone criticized me for talking about a possible future cellphone/smartphone service, akin to '911', with satellite service around the world. Ostensibly, the criticism was somehow based on security and/or privacy. Somehow, somebody would 'have to' sign up for this service. I don't think so. I then pointed out that for many years, cellphones without actual cell phone service contracts have been programmed so they are always capable of '911' service, assuming that they can receive a cell phone signal. I see that as an excellent idea. The problem is that many areas in America, especially in the western US, there is no cell service to be had, especially in mountainous and forested areas. If such a satellite service begins to be available, even if it is only capable of text transmissions, a similar always-available service can be provided.

[spam?] Note: Automated Legal Reverse Engineering
by Karl 07 Nov '21

07 Nov '21

Public Advisory If you're not aware, seq2seq transformer model technology has been sufficiently advanced enough to be trained to automatically convert binary code (including firmware) into source code for some time now, optionally clear and commented etc. I don't know whether anybody has published work doing that, it's probably somewhere, but it's pretty clear it wouldn't be hard to do. The advantage of the transformer model approach is that in the USA, there's a law against reverse engineering and then producing a product based on the reversed code without having a second layer in the analysis process, where a spec is produced from the reversing work, and then new code is written from the spec. This just means training more models to translate into and out of interface specs. For a transformer model, a spec is just a simple code language that leaves a lot of detail out. This training could be automated to not require much data. This is one of the many things that effort developing and normalising would result in incredible freed hours for community software developers who would no longer have to keep reinventing the wheel to maintain compatibility with hardware. It would also mean libre licensed drivers could possibly be made for every binary blob. It'll get a little harder as corps start preparing for this, encrypting their firmware and such, which I suppose would mean the models would need a channel to the running behavior of the firmware to reverse it, and then that will get harder to access, etc etc, so maybe if pursuing this, implement it kind of gently and respectfully somehow to not produce fear in people's profit lines.

Guy Fawkes as proto-Nazi-fag-moron
by professor rat 07 Nov '21

Religious terrorists have been around for a long time now even if there was a God we would have to destroy it. And democracy and democrat were political swear-words well before ' anarchy ' and ' anarchist '. EVERY major call to crusade gave rise to pogroms against Jews. According to Augustine … “ ...Judaism, since Christ, is a corruption; indeed, Judas is the image of the Jewish people: their understanding of Scripture is carnal; they bear the guilt for the death of the Savior, for through their fathers they have killed Christ...” The Crusades by Jonathan Smith ". .. they had also turned to scholars for justification of Christian violence and Gregory Vll had found in Anselm of Lucca, a partisan who, through a careful reading of the Fathers, above all Augustine of Hippo, would build a convincing case for Christian violence as something that could be commanded by God, was at the command of the Church and would, when properly used, be an expression of Christian love... ” Lukács accepted Marxist Bela Kun’s arguments on the necessity for revolutionary violence, saying later: " ... we Communists are like Judas. It is our bloody work to crucify Christ. But this sinful work is at the same time our calling: only through death on the cross does Christ become God, and this is necessary to be able to save the world. We Communists then take the sins of the world upon us, in order to be able thereby to save the world ..." JULIAN “ We are in the business of crucifixion ” ASSANGE late 2016 or 2017. Source Stefania Maurizi, July, 2018 And in related news… Mussolini was Catholic. Franco was Catholic. Himmler, head of the SS, was a Catholic. The SS was set up on the Jesuit model. Goebbels was Catholic. Hoss, the camp commandant of Auschwitz, was a Catholic. Frank,‘ the butcher of Poland ’, was Catholic. Probably the best thing for Guy Fawkes mask-wearing morons to do is handcuff themselves to a lost cause, like Bitcoin. Kill two dirty birds with one stone.
