Cryptocurrency: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Says 20s Will See an Anoncoin Go Mainstream
by grarpamp 06 Jan '20

https://blog.coinbase.com/what-will-happen-to-cryptocurrency-in-the-2020s-d… It is well known from cypherpunk, and as fungibility needs natural defense to silly inspection censor theft and permission regimes, and from and for economic viability, and to developing faith needed for any money candidate to succeed... that coin privacy must be incorporated by default in the base layer. People say Gold and Cash are King for many reasons, privacy is one of them. It's unfortunate to have taken 10+ years for the non-OG crowd to begin to realize that they wasted their time shilling accepting and not speaking out against govcorp anti coin privacy themes and measures that in the end do nothing but destroy their own hodl and use case value. Some are now wising up and beginning to speak out, and a much larger group of voices for privacy they will be. > $200k Long term steady state adoption levels will be higher than that.

Truth from Kek.. There is No Point to Beautiful Women http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/there-is-no-point-to-beautiful-women/ Seriously, that headline is just -designed- to not trigger anyone - I'm sure others could do SO much better... But if you seek an energetic cleansing, and grounded reasons for sanity, well, you know you love it :D

Assassination Politics AP

> limited funds The first number of successful AP influences (proving runs) might be performed via AP boards that allow users to specify runoff of their donations, but that do not show that computation to potential predictors. Such that the influence funds shown as available to predictors might put every target of influence at the same rate, or at least raise the apparent reward for all targets across the board on average given the variety of runoff donations expected. This might give the initial handful of proving predictors equal incentive to prove the system. ie: Whereas a pool of willing predictors might not be in regional proximity to the hot targets, this could also serve to level that out, if again, helpful for the proving case. Similar to leveling soft and hard targets into easier proofs. On the other hand, such runoff and or levelling systems may be seen as artificial market regulations that should not be implemented.

Re: [tor-relays] Exit Concentration vs Bulk filters?

> So what can we do to achieve the ideal distributed network? > Throttle all (nodes) to the slowest... to get the best diversity? > We need all (nodes), whether high or small capacity. Don't we? Tor is a form of gravity well. If the cloud is not saturated, adding more nodes increases odds of traffic analysis. Among other things, tor's utilization falloff curve should probably not give many users and use cases much comfy feels. Tor's design doesn't provide a way to distributively utilize excess nodes safely, it cannot, so it tries to game and manage that as best it can. Such global throttle could help, but access to throughput will disappear, and it's still subject to same class of analysis. Tor's design can't really do much here while still being called tor. Look elsewhere for other designs.
