Stanford Researchers to Tackle Bitmessage with Anonymous Graph Routing

https://www.reddit.com/r/bitmessage/comments/co8e64/anyone_interested_in_bu… Anyone interested in building a scalable, graph-based anonymous routing feature with us? Hello BitMessage community, We are researchers from Stanford University and we are working on designing private and resource-efficient routing protocols. We are reaching out to you to collaborate and implement a new feature of highly scalable, graph-based anonymous routing algorithm. The idea is simple. The current BitMessage protocol ensures recipient anonymity by sending the same message to all nodes in the network. However, as the network size grows, this approach would be difficult to scale. First, sending the message to all nodes would cause high communication traffic overhead that grows with network size. Second, nodes in the network may be connected by a sparse and non-complete physical communication network (eg. think two geographically distant nodes). To address these issues, we propose to build a routing protocol that sends redundant messages only to a set of neighbors of the intended recipient instead of the entire network, where neighborhoods are defined with respect to some communication graph. However, the neighborhood is carefully sampled with a strong information-theoretic guarantee: an adversary who knows the graph AND sees the neighborhood wouldn't be able to infer which node therein is the true recipient. We have already done some preliminary work on this front, but would love to work with the community to see these ideas manifest in a high-impact real-world protocol. The core idea of the proposed project is based on the segment-based algorithm in Definition 3 of [1]. We will be happy to discuss more details should you be interested. If this is of interest, please reach out to us at mserturk(a)stanford.edu. Thank you! [1] Tsitsiklis, John N., and Kuang Xu. "Delay-predictability trade-offs in reaching a secret goal."

The Perfect Crypto Currency
by cypherpunk＠danwin1210.me 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

What would happen if a group of anonymous hackers released free software for the perfect cryptocurrency that resolves all the known problems with current cryptos? What if it contained *provably* secure PKI infrastructure, as opposed to the current mere assumptions about factoring and discrete logarithms? Would anyone recognize its value? Would anyone use it? Would entrenched interests spread FUD all over it? Discuss.

The program is hosted primarily by Ian Freeman and Mark Edge. They are typically joined by a rotating cast of changing co-hosts. It is a chiefly libertarian anarchist political talk show and topics range from current events to philosophy, from politics to personal issues. Support change, 2010 style ;) https://www.futurist19.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfvnDqY7a5E

DeepState: Patrick Byrne Quits OverStock to Hunt Skunks, Avoid Capture, and Drop More Crypto, Again

I have been sitting on them waiting for America to get there. Last summer I figured out… what they all are is all about political espionage. It had nothing to do with law enforcement, it was all political espionage. Here’s the bottom line. There is a deep state like a submarine lurking just beneath the waves of the periscope depth watching our shipping lanes. And a nuclear ice breaker called the USS Bill Barr has snuck up on them and is about to ram midship.” “That’s about to happen and I think we’re about to see the biggest scandal in American history as a result. But it was all political. Everything you think you know about Russia and Clinton investigations is a lie,” Byrne told Atman. I think the blockchain revolution will reshape key social institutions. We have designed and breathed life into perhaps the most significant blockchain keiretsu in the world, a network of blockchain firms seeking to revolutionize identity, land governance (= rule of law = potential = capital), central banking, capital markets, supply chains, and voting. In three of those fields (land governance, central banking, and capital markets) the word “trillions” comes up when calculating the disruptive opportunity of blockchain. In those three fields, our blockchain progeny (Medici Land Governance, Bitt, and tZERO, respectively) are arguably the leading blockchain disruptors in existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NREbyB6UUu0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4hwxm-w7E https://overstock.com/ First, and still accepts, Bitcoin.

The US political system is completely rotten, and Trump knows it. He can tweet pictures of a Trump tower in Greenland, as long the moderate right isn’t convinced, no republican congressman could vote for impeachment without being removed themselves. The US may as well have elected a horse as President, the ruling elite has no capacity to govern, or to even persuade (why bring up impeachment if you know it isn’t possible?). Maybe democracy has failed. Maybe the elite has failed. It is a mystery at this point, but from any perspective, betting on the Ivy League educated elites is a bad bet. Sent from ProtonMail Mobile

Epstein was a victim of a blue collar conspiracy
by Ryan Carboni 22 Aug '19

Epstein was a victim of a blue collar conspiracy, all his employees, all the laborers at various airports [0], all his own bodyguards, they were all in on it. He was just a naive upstanding man who managed to previously get convicted for a sex crime. Billionaires are the gullible sort you see. No one who met him will ever say they’ve seen any indication Epstein was an unhinged sex maniac, those sex toys just ended up in his bathroom, mysteriously. As well as the art he paid for. Maybe if there was evidence that he was some sort of cannibal or had some sort of dungeon full of sex slaves, that too just appeared mysteriously. Naturally the US government is on the case. And these blue collar folks, they aren’t too smart, they may have tricked Epstein into hiring them and arranged everything to look like Epstein is a horrific monster, but the US government knows better. The Russians led them. The Russians led a multi-decade operation to frame Epstein as a sex criminal without the US government noticing until it was completed. It would be quite the stunning operation, they may as well performed some sort of magic act stealing Fort Knox, but no one is as smart as the US government. So no one would expect that the US government would try to not act on any of the evidence. Because this is what the US government does, it doesn’t do anything. 0. “Airport workers say they saw teens traveling with Jeffrey Epstein to and from his private island in the Caribbean” Sent from ProtonMail Mobile

“A free enterprise system is a necessary but not a sufficient condition. There is only one economic system in the world, and that is capitalism. The difference lies in whether the capital is in the hands of the State or whether the greater part of it is in the hands of people outside of State control. Where there is State capitalism there will never be political freedom. Where there is private capitalism there may not be political freedom, but there cannot be political freedom without it. I am grateful to the hon. Member for allowing me to make that clear.” - Prime Minister Thatcher Sent from ProtonMail Mobile
