https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KXHgh2rTTw decentralized deception https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JZQrGw3ho one response A random avg joe's take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK9wEF0vTGQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIC7MDNgyrg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVk6XH1oYUY Crypto is so much about this... hundreds millions people around the world each researching making their own evaluations and choices in things from philosphy to technical to markets to family, right or wrong, win or lose, talking with each other, learning, sharing ideas, expanding their thinking. Don't discount what the average Jane's around the world think and want. You can find lots of their tubes if you look around, linked herein two random, not even representative, examples. And a few, a *very* few not necessarily shown herein, are actually seeking truth, approaching and doing things responsibly. They are the ones bringing the future. Find and support and hear them out, the few real ones, among the colossal lot of retards, shills, scams, frauds, statists, fools, fooled, metoos, governments, banks, corporations, and the like. It's either fully distributed decentralized worldwide p2p transaction mineable privacy coins, in/out via IRL p2p and DEX and truly openly inspectable exchanges... or Fiat... pick one, or both in some fraction. They are mutually exclusive, there is no middle ground but fakery and witches. That has always been, and always will be, the story of cryptocurrency... DYOR... make the story a good one. It's not easy, but it's possible.

Re: [liberationtech] Democrats rally around pledge not to use hacked documents (Wash Post)

Those disavowing it are simply afraid of the truth it contains. Disavowers forging joint compacts are attempting to universally discredit and wage war against the truth. Jointly fudding it is their only defense tactic left. Deny deny deny, and never open up for inspection... it's the oldest game in town. Pledges are also a total lie, no politician would refuse to use fruits in such razor thin and engineered "elections", it would be campaign suicide not to, so they'll just use them secretly. Information seeks to be free, to be its own open market, "National Security" is just another Top Secret FUD attack against the natural state and tide of information, an attempt to put freedom back in the bottle, and keep power out in force. Don't let that happen. 2020 US elections will see many documents "liberated". "Pledge" to curate and keep them freely accessible to the world. Because as you can see in the last link above, the FUD is already having desired effect on media, causing them to second guess themselves, to focus on "'criminal' sources" instead of on the information, etc The fourth estate is hardly as strong, independant, or innocent as people think... in most places of note it's already done in, and getting consistantly worse across the board [1]. But you still have the internet... at least for a little while longer... so really it's up to you now. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index https://rsf.org/en/ranking [2] [2] What sad state of affairs is it that you cannot reach a press freedom site when using freedom tools like Tor. > I don't get it.

oniontinc: tinc via Tor v3 onions with MPTCP
by Ann Brown 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Basically, oniontinc routes tinc via Tor, and uses MPTCP for multipathing and link aggregation. tinc hosts listen for connections to Tor v3 onion services, and they connect to peers using Tor SocksPorts. MPTCP aggregates full-mesh connections between hosts, with a preference for those that have greater bandwidth and lower latency. For Internet hosts with well-peered gigabit uplinks, this permits throughput among peers at 30-50 Mbps for multiple streams. There are bash scripts for almost everything involved in creating full-mesh oniontinc networks, using Debian hosts. The scripts draw on a simple configuration table with required information about all hosts in the network. The scripts specify subnets 10.101.1N.0/24 with N=0-5, which are part of the subnet 10.100.0.0/14 that ChaosVPN has allocated for American and other hackerspaces. But you can use any subnet that you like, such as something in 172.20.0.0/14 for dn42. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Cryptocurrency: US ETrade Adopting, Central Stable Exch Gov... all Proven to be Shitcoins, again

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-04-26/e-trade-is-said-to-be-cl… https://twitter.com/nathanielpopper/status/1121868559330598912 https://twitter.com/TDAmeritrade/status/1121883679675101184 https://fnordprefect.de/ E*Trade Financial Corp. is getting ready to let customers trade cryptocurrencies on its platform, according to a person familiar with the matter. The firm will start by adding Bitcoin and Ethereum, and will consider adding other currencies in the future, said the person, who asked to remain anonymous because the matter is private. A spokesman for E*Trade declined to comment. This is said to be custodial / storage... actual coins... thus more direct than Fiat settled futures or tracking ETFs, and without Grayscale's NAV premium or Legacy Bank Brokerages blocking buyers, and likely with low trade fees. Offloading to private wallets is yet unknown. TDAmeritrade and Fidelity also in play. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/26/bitfinex_fraud_claims/ https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=vIe… The price of Bitcoin has dropped seven per cent after New York's Attorney General accused leading exchange Bitfinex of trying to hide $850 million in missing funds. The accusation came in a legal filing [PDF] on Thursday that claims Bitfinex raided the reserves of Tether -- a digital currency that is kept at parity with the U.S. dollar in order to allow traders to switch easily between real and virtual currencies -- in order to make up the massive shortfall. Both Tether and Bitfinex are headquartered in the tax haven of the British Virgin Islands and, according to the NY Attorney General, are owned and run by the same group of executives and staff. Tether is a so-called "stablecoin" and the company claims that every Tether virtual coin is backed by a dollar held in reserves, the idea being that people can be assured of its stability. But last month, on March 4, the NY Attorney General notes that Tether changed that assurance to note that "every Tether is always 100 per cent backed by our reserves, which include traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time, may include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties." [...] As part of that investigation, the OAG uncovered documents that purportedly show that in mid-2018 Bitfinex didn't have sufficient real-world currency deposits to meet customer demand. All "stable" coins are centralized Fiat shitcoins. If it can be sued or shot, it's Fiat shit too. There are always degrees on continuum, but in the end... Not your keys, Not your coins.
