Cryptocurrency: John McAfee On Point recap
by grarpamp 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

For publication... Great conversations with John in good form... Currency's Role, Unregulatable, History Books, Quit Fueling the Car, Ode to Woman, Obligation, Carry Forth the Message of Real Freedom P2P... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDffZ7PwbBY http://bitcoinradio.libsyn.com/eps009-john-mcafee-presidential-candidate-fu… https://chtbl.com/track/94G89/traffic.libsyn.com/preview/bitcoinradio/eps.0… https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1166315091253506049 "Transparency or Privacy/Anonymity in Crypto? Which is it ? It's a simple answer that you need to understand and understand now." https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1166468748326424578 "I was raised in the U.S. I went to school, kissed my first girl, got my first job, raised a family, hoped for our future. I love America with all of my heart. But I am at war with the government of my country, which, I fear, bears little love for anything but itself." Math, Privacy, DEX, Conspiracy, Campaigning, Greenland, Learn, Make your Monday's about Love... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTTW8aST85Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqHv36X4eOs https://mcafeemagic.com/ Good to see privacy now finally making it into the wider cryptocurrency convo arena as being a critical and required element to its ultimate success. Stay sharp my friend. Published on Aug 26, 2019 John McAfee is a man who need no introduction. Even so, I'll give a brief one: Computers, Money, Advocating Freedom, Running for President, Government Targeting, Traveling the World (Fleeing Persecution), Social Media Messenger John has been advocating for personal sovereignty, an end to wars of aggression, ceasing the financial fuckery of centralized fiat currencies and the banks that control them, deconstructing the failed institutions of government and enjoying your life for many years now. This is a message that has cost him no small amount of money, time, conflict, stress and more. It's made all the more remarkable because he could have just sat back on the beach with more money than he knew what to do with, and enjoyed the twilight of his life with the love of his life, Mrs. Janice McAfee, sipping drinks and tripping balls. Instead, he chose to be a messenger for freedom and personal sovereignty. Because he was not some fringe hippie with no means or connections, the powers that be saw an actual threat in the man, and have to this very day run a campaign to bring McAfee down. When a plantation owner with no slaves, but plenty of resources, announces to the unwitting slaves of the other plantation owners that they are slaves and don't need to be, is it any wonder they turn their eyes, along with their proclivity for lynching, to the man with the bullhorn? Tune in and listen to the man as he seeks to enlighten you to the mess you're in, and suggest to you the ways in which you might remove yourself from it.

Privacy, Censorship, Freedom
by grarpamp 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Lot of talk on tor tech itself, but little on tech as enabling a range of potential futures for history that encrypted censorship resistant overlay communication, social and transaction networks as a whole can help liberate in conversation... without those spanning from Zimmerman to overlays to now Satoshi, all sorts of discussion on new models, regardless of what any may favor or take up among them or may create of their own, these free exchanges around the world would not be happening in real time today without such tools serving both sci-fi like inspiration, as iterative building blocks, and now in use in the world. That such new crypto things and convo are now in politics, that one can even find any uncurated uncensored convo, or create or take part in any, globally, in a few keystrokes, is testament to the good of such agnostic tools re the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDffZ7PwbBY Those interested in tor as applied technology should definitely take time not only with tor itself, but to survey and try all the new overlay tech, many now exist... from transports, to distributed storage, messaging, cryptocurrency, text, audio, video, and social comms platforms... but perhaps even more importantly, the range of new conversations occuring over them, and what convo and tools you might add out there in the new decentralized world. World is changing fast, have fun :)

Bitmessage - Anonymous, Encrypted, Secure Messaging, Chans, and Broadcasts

Bitmessage - Anonymous, Encrypted, Secure Messaging, Chans, and Broadcasts -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a uncensorable messaging and discussion network, Bitmessage. It is a decentralized and trustless peer-to-peer protocol. It sports a slick graphical interface that works like a mail client. The UX is snappy and easy even for Grandma. Management of cryptography keys and signing is automatic under the hood and is never exposed to the end user. It is an order of magnitude easier to use than PGP or GnuPG. https://bitmessage.org https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage Bitmessage works like the old mixnets or remailers but much more securely. It is highly resistant to eavesdropping and censorship. The lead developer is from the old cypherpunk culture. Bitmessage has several useful features: * Connect via Tor * Anonymous chans * Anonymous broadcasts * Anonymous distributed mailing list repeaters * Private messaging addresses * Automatic management of all cryptography keys You can run bitmessage in a firejail on Linux for extra extra security. We've found only one security hole in over six years of development, and we're pretty confident that it is very secure "out of the box" at this time. If you want to help the network please configure a node to accept incoming connections to increase the speed and security of the network against traffic analysis. The more peers that accept incoming connections the more resilient the network becomes. Please share this resource with all the mailing lists to which you are subscribed, with your friends, and on bulletin boards. I hope to see you on the Bitmessage channel, [chan] cypherpunks. To subscribe to this chan in Bitmessage, click on the 'Chans' tab, then click the 'Add chan' button, then enter the passphrase 'cypherpunks' and click OK. The crypto community has been hijacked by shills who try to control the discussion and keep people in the dark about the sad state of privacy. There are a lot of pro-law-enforcement shills who are trying to move us into back-doored crypto. The "leaders" have hidden agendas. They keep rolling out broken cryptography full of security holes (how convenient), then tell the rest of us to never roll our own crypto (how inconvenient for them), that we should put all our eggs in their leaky basket. a old cypherpunk
