Co-winner of a Gödel Prize - on the anarchist revolution
by professor rat 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

Tim Roughgarden, a top-notch computer scientist (co-winner of a Gödel Prize), is teaching a class on blockchains. He’s only just begun to put up material but I liked this bit of “hype” from Lecture One. It’s worth recognizing that we’re currently in a particular moment in time, witnessing a new area of computer science blossom before our eyes in real time. It draws on well-established parts of computer science (e.g., cryptography and distributed systems) and other fields (e.g., game theory and finance), but is developing into a fundamental and interdisciplinary area of science and engineering its own right. Future generations of computer scientists will be jealous of your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of this new area–analogous to getting into the Internet and the Web in the early 1990s. I cannot overstate the opportunities available to someone who masters the material covered in this course–current demand is much, much bigger than supply. And perhaps this course will also serve as a partial corrective to the misguided coverage and discussion of blockchains in a typical mainstream media article or water cooler conversation, which seems bizarrely stuck in 2013 (focused almost entirely on Bitcoin, its environmental impact, the use case of payments, Silk Road, etc.). An enormous number of people, including a majority of computer science researchers and academics, have yet to grok the modern vision of blockchains: a new computing paradigm that will enable the next incarnation of the Internet and the Web, along with an entirely new generation of applications..."

Bitcoin & Burner Phones
by professor rat 17 Sep '21

I notice Batshit Crazy is for technofascism now - the pentagon created internet - flawed crypto-currency, Btc ( deliberately flawed? We don't really know till Satoshi gets waterboarded. ) Anyway, simply accepting the DARPAnet as kosher marks Batshit out as a suspected FBI informant. He probably still loves NSA jooboi, Jakob Applecheeks. Police filth written all over him.

Bitcoin & Burner Phones
by HisName 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

Greetings, I first joined this list in the mid to late nineties. Back then there were a lot of posts with code in C or C++, IIRC. I have never really pursued programming to the extent that I should have, so I guess I'm no cypherpunk. I may have posted before, but I don't think so. I have some questions about Bitcoin and cashing out. It seems that I can't really access withdrawel or getting cash if someone pays me in Bitcoin without identifying myself? Is that correct? I'm in the US. I use a burner phone and would like to accept Bitcoin or other Crypto Currency and get the cash for it without identifying myself. Is that possible? I switch phones every once in awhile, I suppose using some kind of wallet makes that not a problem. If it matters, I'm in the US. Anyone willing to help me with these questions? Thank you. -me Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) Secure Email.

Police scanner encryption?

"Baltimore Goes Dark: Police Scanner Encryption Creates New Danger" https://nationalinterest.org/feature/baltimore-goes-dark-police-scanner-enc… Jim Bell's comment: One possible compromise would be to delay the 'plain-audio' by a short time, 5-10 minutes, possibly using encryption. Depending on the circumstances, the delay could be shortened, eliminated, or lengthened.

Quite a contrast to the deadly-dull, tussle for digital privacy! The batshit-boring, crypto-privacy crowd must have zero self-respect. No shame. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/technology/digital-privacy.html

Another existential threat to " GOVCORP!" and all its associated bs.
by professor rat 16 Sep '21

https://www.amazon.com.au/Blockchain-Code-Decrypt-Complexity-Crypto-Anarchy… Contains much unreliable c-punk list info - but the basic message is correct. Cryptoanarchism aspires to global hegemony and a new world order.

KISS your centralized ' GOVCORP!" police-state goodbye
by professor rat 16 Sep '21

16 Sep '21

We have witnessed how quickly AI has advanced, and these advancements will accelerate the near-term future of autonomous weapons. Not only will these killer robots become more intelligent, more precise, faster, and cheaper; they will also learn new capabilities, such as how to form swarms with teamwork and redundancy, making their missions virtually unstoppable. Had the atomic bomb turned out to be something as cheap and easily manufactured as a bicycle or an alarm clock, it might well have plunged us back into barbarism, but it might, on the other hand, have meant the end of national sovereignty and of the highly-centralised police State. Govcorp truthers today are such chickenshit bores - but you knew that. "... One of the stories in my new “scientific fiction” book based on realistic possible-future scenarios, AI 2041, which I co-wrote with the sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan, describes a Unabomber-like scenario in which a terrorist carries out the targeted killing of business elites and high-profile individuals..." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/09/i-weapons-are-third-…
