Trustable, darknet based, cryptocurrency exchanges?
by Anthony Papillion 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

For those of us in the US (and I assume many of the more invasive European countries too), purchasing cryptocurrency anonymously is getting increasingly difficult. Most US based exchanges requires at least some ID verification and things like LocalBitcoins are generally much more expensive to trade using. Does anyone know of a trustable, no-questions asked, darknet based crypto exchange? Thanks, Anthony -- Skype: cajuntechie XMPP/Jabber: cajuntechie(a)jabber.ru PGP Key: 0xCC9D1E072AC97369

If one has to *pay* to read the *law*, then today's reality is *wrong*. The prior paragraphs stand, including the winnable case people have under defined situations, it's expected people may have to reread in red pill mode to grok that. Go ahead, pay for that $1000 crypto key today, see what they do to you tomorrow. As said, it is you who won't be able to afford the tax to read the law, nor parry it, and you will be subject to it as you say, oh and then you will complain, while eating your free meal.

" At the end of 2014, I was working with a highly skilled team of top hackers on a world changing project which the EU central bank named as a top key money laundering threat, ISIS released a report recommending it to their members and the US military held a meeting over. Then I discovered the anarchist revolution of Rojava, which came under attack by ISIS. I dropped everything to go help defend this revolution as my duty. I served 3 and a half months in the frontline then worked in the civil society for the economics committee for more than a year. What I saw there in one year I could not have seen elsewhere in 10 years. Rojava is the most important revolution of this century, and the first proper anarchist revolution. It is the solution for lasting peace in the middle east, and the way forward for our crisis of civilization in the west. "

In 25 yrs Bill Gates will be the first TRILLIONAIRE ... half of India's GDP
by Razer 05 Apr '17

First trillionaire: In 25 yrs Bill Gates’ wealth to be half of Indian GDP Updated: Jan 25, 2017 10:33 IST Microsoft founder Bill Gates, of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gestures during a session of the World Economic Forum(AFP) Bill Gates, the co-founder of technology behemoth Microsoft, is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire, according to a report by Oxfam, the England-headquartered confederation of charitable organizations focused on the alleviation of global poverty. To put things in perspective, the total gross domestic product of Indonesia is less than a trillion dollar. That means Gates as a trillionaire would have more wealth than what Indonesia produces in goods and services in one year. India, too, has a skewed proportion of wealthy people. The report quoted that Swiss global financial services company, UBS estimates that in the next 20 years, 500 people will hand over $2.1 trillion to their heirs, a tad less than the GDP of India, a country where 1.3 billion people live. Gates’ fortunes has risen by 50%, or $25 billion since he left Microsoft in 2006, “despite his efforts to donate much of its in charity,” the report said. Gates runs the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which works to improve education, world health and population, and around community giving. In the 10 years after Gates took up social work, his net worth has grown to $75 billion. The Forbes magazine calculates his net worth at $84 billion. “If billionaires continue to secure these returns, we could see the world’s first trillionaire in 25 years. In such an environment, if you are already rich you have to try hard not to keep getting a lot richer,” the report elaborated. The flipside: the huge fortunes in the hand of few is a “clear evidence of inequality crisis”, and is hindering the “fight to end extreme poverty”. India, too, has a skewed proportion of wealthy people. The report quoted that Swiss global financial services company, UBS estimates that in the next 20 years, 500 people will hand over $2.1 trillion to their heirs, a tad less than the GDP of India, a country where 1.3 billion people live...

(Well, more applicably, "cordless household phones", which have also evolved somewhat beyond a simple fixed 800MHz carrier. Regulate Technology vs. Act, stupid govt's.)

See https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/public-records-activist-violate… > > There are many state laws a regulations that "include by reference" standards published by various organizations who sell them for large amounts of money. Yes, you are legally responsible for working within the standards. If people want to be apologists for the Secret Arbitrary Control Profit State, they exactly deserve what they get, and such things do and will affect you eventually. oh, are you going to praise the $1000 it costs you do buy the driver / tax / employment / marriage "law". If you can't see, read, debate, contest and ply to modify the entirety of the law, freely, even as a $broke bum on the street, it's not a law. This is absolutely fundamental principle and requirement of working "democracy", among other memes. Otherwise you're a subject of tyranny of elites who don't give a fuck about you. Nobody cares it you take the public body of law, *add* your own annotations, work, etc, and resell that product... that is *not* law. Of course Malamud will lose that. However that's entirely different than the law public itself, including all "included by references", etc. If it is work product of Legislative, Judicial, Executive branches, it must be free and freely available, and so must all such deliberated included's... this is fundamental here. If you have to pay to see that which you must comply with, it isn't law, and you have a rock solid case to ignore it, unless of course too many apologists have made that slippery slope happen, for which you're doomed. You're a complete fool to comply with a "law" you cannot freely read for free. Show me the law, I'll make my own damn "annotations".
