Though those indexed torrents specify clearnet trackers, there are also now darknet trackers and users connecting to them and sharing among themselves with their favorite udp enable bt apps by using onioncat. No hacks or other software needed. Thanks for the various subthread though.

Gov's don't self suicide. However they may piss other folks off, who then rise to kill them. Replacing them with yet another govt. Of course twisting their own original tools for military comms superiority against them is always fun, and yes, seen as ironic. There are also too many places in the world where govs still have effective control over it... censorship events, etc... such that govt survival mechanism will be effective nationalization under "exigent state of emergency". It may take another 20 years before the race condition between govts and freedom of the net yields a real winner, or a real meltdown. > is on Ethereum and Augur, which will make the prediction market open. > Nobody will much care if I donate 0.001 BTC to see the end of > [fill in the > blank with the name of your] ...neighbors dog that shits on your lawn and barks all night.

Competent services and users can't be bullied off of anonymous overlay networks by anyone except perhaps GPA's that have nothing better to do. Clearnet is a joke compared to that general caveat. Which is why bittorrent is moving into the overlays... yes, they're tired of wasting their time with bullies and they have better things to do, including building and using stable, resistant, systems. That's just ops, is not giving up, but continuing to better advancing any of their philosophical ideas on piratepartiet, privacy, etc.

Some of your stuff depends on clearnet peers / services, I see no need for that in the new old world of anonymous overlay networks. Some of your stuff is commercial, for clearnet no less, spammed out in every message you send. I see no need for that either. As in the subject "entirely within". As in the body "just a teaser".

MUA 'new email' User-Agent email header field - suggestions and questions
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

I know, I know, this is wildly off topic for this list, but I dare to ask: Dear Dolly, I note that many punky punks round these parts use their MUA du journk, yet happily advertise (of course falsely) their MUA User-Agent name and version (due to the default header config which does as much). Of course everyone round these parts is perfectly aware of such matters and has long ago manually modified such string to discretely lead any would be infiltrator astray. Such significant information so many people give away, "presently company excluded" of course... :) So, can anyone tell me of known spam filters or "outright rejection" filters in any known mail server configurations/ setups, which would reject an email header such as: User-Agent: Could be mutt but fucked if I'm telling you. Is it better to simply not include such a header? Or is it better to do the sly "make it look genuine but it's not" number? Better is a purely objective assessment of course with no rune for alternative threat models or other subjective quasi quagmires... Confused, Z P.S. Thank you my gracious and all knowing lords of the crypto best practices paddfock. May we romp in freedom with daisies to save the world, as I've heard love and light is all powerful and will save us all.

Yeap, lets show one more time that a man can work all his life to build his reputation and to help the world in so many ways... and some f*ckers can ruin it in one week, by creating an amateur smear campaign with anonymous and saaad stories. Well done, puppets.
