Per the "arbitrary and capricious whim" of moderator, cryptocurrency discussions... those by definition being a fully charter compliant part of "the technical, social, political, security, privacy, legal, multinational aspects of cryptosystems"... further free and fair discourse on same, are banned from this list. Posting about cryptocurrency here is chilled and deprecated, thus your work is at risk and highly discouraged. You may freely discuss all said aspects, and more, of cryptocurrency without censorship on the cypherpunks(a)cpunks.org list. Including whatever else came from the conference: https://cyber.stanford.edu/bpase18 Blockchain Protocol Analysis and Security Engineering 2018 'Messages that use the term "crypto" to refer to currencies will not be forwarded by the moderators.' Now of course more rational people would say that context is everything... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQQFA9YXCZ0 We talkin crypto ;)

Soon one of them will have dated a key support line for the fourth time, and should reach at least 2x more this year. The other will likely remain some degree of sideways at best.

It isn't that hard to figure out how Cellebrite's hardware works
by Ryan Carboni 05 May '18

05 May '18

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/bring-nerds-eff-introduces-actual-enc… "And that’s what companies like Cellebrite and Grayshift do. They sell devices that break device security—not by breaking the encryption on the device—but by finding flaws in implementation." Somehow Cellebrite's tools work around rate limits. This implies either the rate limit is on the secure enclave, which can be overwritten, or the rate limit is not enforced by the secure enclave. So obviously there must be some mechanism that forces the creation of a rate limit. Obviously the whole issue is a matter of more research and experimentation.... Although this whole argument seems to be against certificate authorities really...

NSA Spies on 500M Americans

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-surveillance/spy-agency-nsa-co… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16997962 We found out that Verizon -- just Verizon -- was handing over "phone records of millions of Verizon customers daily" in June 2013. And of course 'no content' is a lie... see Utah. Why... "Government: If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law." - Edward Abbey #DecipherYou

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWW7oLkZntA Hi, I'm Elizabeth Mueller. I led one of the largest groups in the USA to Stop TPP. My group worked with a coalition and #WeStoppedTPP in the USA (for now, although 11 other countries are trying to pass CPTPP.) I was targeted for my political work, most likely by government-funded, criminal private sec companies. It is time for activists, whistleblowers, journalists and everyday innocent people to fight back--demand Congress pass a USA #AntiSpyBill. https://steemit.com/privacy/@markhodge/that-s-weird-no-i-m-not-going-crazy-… I've been writing about various taboo subjects on and off for about eighteen months. By taboo, I mean CIA, Deep state, the incarceration of Julian Assange, the influence of America over Australian policy, Pine Gap, the coup of 1975, banking cartels and anything else that gets up my nose on a given day. For most of that time, I've flown under the radar. My audience has been minimal. I've used the writing as a pressure valve release, while I worked as freelance writer providing content for small business owners. I didn't think I was worth noticing. I probably wasn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaB0WM96NN4

Criminal Justice Reform
by Ryan Carboni 03 May '18

03 May '18

Upon looking into the Stephen Avery case, I came to a conclusion. A large fraction of the people in prison are guilty for each others crimes. This is what no one would admit to. Which brings new meaning to guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I also question how it took so long for so many federal forensic tests to be declared bunk when there are so many nonprofit groups, the most prominent receiving tens of millions a year. I don't think you will ever hear a non-profit group in one stroke, from indirect involvement, exonerating thousands of prisoners. There's an innocence project, but no one is examining why everything is so incredibly flawed and incompetent. Clearly the most likely source for change would be someone actually intelligent opening their mouth and pointing this out...
