Any bets on whether ending cryptocurrency (esp. bitcoin) privacy & fungibility will be near the top of the discussions?

To: cecilia.tanaka@gmail.com Dear members , As a result of last cyber attack that hit many countries worldwide, our partners from DiploFoundation and the Geneva Internet Platform have organised an open webinar for the community to provide an analysis of the main technological, geopolitical, legal, and economic aspects of the ransomware. Experts from different fields will discuss why ransomware has become a major issue: Can such attacks be prevented by technological measures alone? Is there a need for a legal response, such as Microsoft’s proposal for the Digital Geneva Convention? Is raising more awareness among users the ultimate solution? The webinar will discuss whether it is possible to put a stop to malicious software, or whether they should be considered the price we have to pay for the many advantages of the Internet. Choices on policy will have to be made sooner rather than later. The aim of the discussion is to explore and help make informed policy choices. How to participate? Date: Tomorrow - Thursday, 18th May, at 11:00 UTC (13:00 CEST). The virtual event is open for everyone , just register under this link : https://www.diplomacy.edu/registrations/wannacry-webinar Register to book your seat. The webinar link will be e-mailed to registrants one hour before the start. Regards , -- Nancy Quirós Development Manager LAC Chapters Email: quiros@isoc.org Skype: nancy_quiros Web: www.isoc.org

You _hope so_? Seriously? That's a horrible idea.

Maybe she had a typo? Anyway.. I think whoever blasted this hack off may never touch their money. Apparently all the infections come with instructions for payment to be made to one of only three static wallets.. and everybody has their eyes on the block chain :P They've only brought in like $60k or something from 200k infections. Horrible return on infection ratio... -- John

I said " I hope so" because it's important discussing these subjects too. The privacy is being attacked in the whole world, unfortunately. :( Hmm... Did I understand wrongly Steven's question, Mirimir? Remember my English is pretty limited yet and I don't want to attack the privacy, only to discuss it. :P

I suppose that it's good to discuss the issue. Still, saying "ending cryptocurrency (esp. bitcoin) privacy & fungibility" is an extremely offensive thing to say on this list. What we need is to discuss how to _protect_ cryptocurrency privacy and fungibility.

Sorry, Cecilia. I'm just touchy about this stuff.
With the exception of Jim Bell, I consider myself one of the more significant cryptoanarchists. I brought this up as there many statists in the blockchain community and they largely seek to hobble bitcoin (and other public blockchain currencies) to advantage their investments or achieve political ends.

OK, sorry. But adding /s to your question would have made it clearer.

Aaaah, I understand his question now! Sorry, my love, I misunderstood Steven's comment about privacy questions. I do *NOT* support "ending cryptocurrency (esp. bitcoin) privacy & fungibility", neither ISOC does. ISOC defends and protects these values. I thought he wanted to discuss the ending of them in several countries. Sorry again! :P

Pardon, Mirimir, my vocabulary is limited, my English is a disaster and I need to sleep at least one night. Not a good phase, my love. Sorry.
