"...And what since then is now the compendium of vision of future, what should it be about...? Digtal Utopias, Prediction Markets, Private Cryptocurrency, CrowdFunding, Cornucopias full of unstoppable P2P apps for all, SeaSteads FarmLands, Peace Love Liberty and Freedom from Force for Everyone in your Lifetime? ..." Clap hands if you believe in Randite, Paultard, Austro-Libertarian FAIRIES. Gasbagging, timewasting chickenshit pinheads - like you Gramps - and your Nazi Fag Moron BFFS, Semich and Batshit - try and drag cypherpunks back to the Mongoloid Dark Ages - but the crypto-anarchist future keeps happening. Youse keep losing. Btw - Phil Zimmerman disassociated himself from the Mongoloids. You obscurantist morons can't lie straight in bed. Fuck your crude noise disinformation hustle , fuck your moron friends here and FUCK YOU. When I catch up with you YOU'RE DEAD.

Cryptocurrency: The Great Reset - Fire vs EMP vs VaultHSM vs CounterParty vs ...

Quite astounding the tens to hundreds of $Billions that millions of people are keeping on [unreliable] hardware keys, phones, computers, counterparty and intrusion risks, etc... subject to all sorts of mishaps... for which they have no non-digital, physical destruction mitigated, redundant, distance separated, hidden, seed/key backups from which to recover their nominal values after their home, work, local, region, or world reboots.

Secure Phones: OpenSource, and FBI's Fake Encrypted Honeypots
by grarpamp 10 Jul '21

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7b4gg/anom-phone-arcaneos-fbi-backdoor The original article. Researchers might find some AN0M's for sale on darknet markets. If they were still intact, more exploit disclosure could be done. They could then be reflashed into SW development units. But as with all closed HW and SW, and anything from untrusted sources, they couldn't really be trusted for critical use without threat modelling and risk management. Doing more... buy one of each of the "secure phone" brands that are out there. Publish a comparison on what they are doing in HW and SW to be "secure". Then to the extent it's just SW, integrate whatever they're doing that you missed, into your own opensource ROM project on github, or into any of the other existing secure ROM projects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_mobile_phones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_mobile_phones https://www.xda-developers.com/android-phone-linux-distributions/ https://tuxphones.com/list-linux-mobile-devices/ https://tuxphones.com/all-linux-distributions-for-smartphones/ Any cheap ARM64 phone can run a Linux or BSD with a strong passphrase, optional USB/NFC/RFID TFA / boot key. Since Baseband and WiFi HW and FW are compromised from the factory [1], you're sort of carrying a brick anyways. Phones are just computers with HW radios built in. They can talk over WiFi / USB / Serial to external Cell and WiFi HW radios. And both Cell and WiFi can be done in GNURadio. Pine64 Pinephone and Purism Librem5 might still be the only ones doing Baseband over Serial. Too bad they don't have a fast battery cut or instant hard reboot or crypto blacken and wipe switch. [1] See Apple's recent WiFi SSID exploit. For that matter, did Apple ever say that they could not (as in the phone architecture totally prevents anyone from breaking in), as opposed to Apple would just refuse to break into their own phones.

Cypherpunks as victims bs

Nancy MacLean was once asked to explain James Buchanan’s motivations. MacLean answered, "As an author, I have struggled with this, and I could explain it in different ways. I didn’t put this in the book, but I will say it here. It’s striking to me how many of the architects of this cause seem to be on the autism spectrum—you know, people who don’t feel solidarity or empathy with others, and who have difficult human relationships sometimes." C-punks are victims. As you read the Mange, Applebum, Semich, Gramps, Batshit, stories, the subliminal teachings pour over you like a bath of molten lead: "Governments have the power. Cypherpunks are victims. C-punks are victims. We are all victims." The wounded screams echo in my ears. Weak and worthless timewasters the lot. Their cowardice is contagious. Their lies are old. Their weak excuses precede them and their grave lies open in front of them.

"if you have a sustained transfer, you’ll see speeds rising and falling over time, from “not passing traffic” to 5, 10, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 200, and back down to “not passing traffic” over the course of a few minutes. I’d assume it’s related to the distance to the satellite, somehow, but just because you get a 250Mbit speed test does not mean it’s actually going to sustain 250Mbit"

LibGen SciHub: Replication of Science Experiment - Seed for Success

Rescue Mission for Sci-Hub and Open Science: We are the library. DataHoarder by shrine Rescue Mission Links in original Quick start to rescuing Sci-Hub: Download 1 random torrent (100GB) from the scimag collection and download it. Seed forever. Contribute to open source Sci-Hub projects: freereadorg/awesome-libgen Join /r/scihub to stay up to date A Rescue Mission for Sci-Hub and Open Science Elsevier and the USDOJ have declared war against Sci-Hub and open science. The era of Sci-Hub and Alexandra standing alone in this fight must end. We have to take a stand with her. On May 7th, Sci-Hub's Alexandra Elbakyan revealed that the FBI has been wiretapping her accounts for over 2 years. This news comes after Twitter silenced the official Sci_Hub twitter account because Indian academics were organizing on it against Elsevier. Sci-Hub itself is currently frozen and has not downloaded any new articles since December 2020. This rescue mission is focused on seeding the article collection in order to prepare for a potential Sci-Hub shutdown. Alexandra Elbakyan of Sci-Hub, bookwarrior of Library Genesis, Aaron Swartz, and countless unnamed others have fought to free science from the grips of for-profit publishers. Today, they do it working in hiding, alone, without acknowledgment, in fear of imprisonment, and even now wiretapped by the FBI. They sacrifice everything for one vision: Open Science. Why do they do it? They do it so that humble scholars on the other side of the planet can practice medicine, create science, fight for democracy, teach, and learn. People like Alexandra Elbakyan would give up their personal freedom for that one goal: to free knowledge. For that, Elsevier Corp (RELX, market cap: 50 billion) wants to silence her, wants to see her in prison, and wants to shut Sci-Hub down. It's time we sent Elsevier and the USDOJ a clearer message about the fate of Sci-Hub and open science: we are the library, we do not get silenced, we do not shut down our computers, and we are many. Rescue Mission for Sci-Hub If you have been following the story, then you know that this is not our first rescue mission. We protected the Library Genesis book collection We unlocked over 5,000 COVID-19 research articles We successfully petitioned publishers to unlock their COVID-19 paywalls bookwarrior, the founder of Library Genesis, took his library onto the de-centralized and un-censorable IPFS web Next? Make Sci-Hub un-censorable too. Rescue Target A handful of Library Genesis seeders are currently seeding the Sci-Hub torrents. There are 850 scihub torrents, each containing 100,000 scientific articles, to a total of 85 million scientific articles: 77TB. This is the complete Sci-Hub database. We need to protect this. Rescue Team Wave 1: We need 85 datahoarders to store and seed 1TB of articles each, 10 torrents in total. Download 10 random torrents from the scimag collection, then load the torrents onto your client and seed for as long as you can. The articles are coded by DOI and in zip files. Wave 2: Reach out to 10 good friends to ask them to grab just 1 random torrent (100GB). That's 850 seeders. We are now the library. Final Wave: Development for an open source Sci-Hub. freereadorg/awesome-libgen is a collection of open source achievements based on the Sci-Hub and Library Genesis databases. Open source de-centralization of Sci-Hub is the ultimate goal here, and this begins with the data, but it is going to take years of developer sweat to carry these libraries into the future. Heartfelt thanks to the /r/datahoarder and /r/seedboxes communities, seedbox.io and NFOrce for your support for previous missions and your love for science.

You were quoted once describing Tim May as a ' fascist '. Is this still your view? And how would you describe Israel Shamir's politics?
