How the FATF brought down modern civilisation
- anigbrowl 17y agoAn interesting article (and blog) but I'm amused by the fact that their https certificate is invalid :)
- Dilpil 17y agoWhy does this site require https?
- wmf 17y agoBecause it's run by a cypherpunk. And you can use regular HTTP if your browser complains.
- electromagnetic 17y agoIt throws an SSL error for me in Chrome, so isn't going to be opened on my computer. There's no need for it to be in https, so the site owner just lost a reader. Tip to the author: Don't alienate your readers before they can even read your work.
- pelle 17y agoIan has done this specifically to highlight the problem in the current SSL cert model. Here is his post on why he does that: http://financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/001067.html http://financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/001067.html His site actually has a valid CACert certificate who do certification via web of trust. The only problem is that mainstream browsers have refused to support CACert. http://www.cacert.org/ http://www.cacert.org/
- wmf 17y agoIt's only "invalid" according to The Man; if you were running a (hypothetical) crypto-anarchist browser you'd have no problem. :-)

- futuremint 17y agoHeh, My first thought when reading the link title was, "Financial Alochol, Tobacco, and Firearms?" Really its the "Financial Action Task Force"
