Anon LLC is US specific. Not available in other countries.

Yes, it is absolutely conceivable to be anon developer, except for officially publishing in the Apple/Google/MS walled gardens. Then if you would want to accept donations or payments, anonymity is only possible with cryptocurrenci

So "excess profits tax" is fine - they say - except when applied to poor airlines? Turns out both Ryanair and Hungarian government are evil and anti-market.

The purpose is to secure my savings against inflation and confiscation. It is a very useful thing, I assure you.

You have it all backwards. The PoW is useful work because it helps secure my hard-earned savings against very high inflation my country is dealing with (I store my savings in Bitcoin). While many other (non-PoW) energy uses you have in mi

To the person who downvoted, we will come back to this thread in a few years to see who was right about Bitcoin. Brace yourself.

Get a better job ASAP. Passive income, to large extent, is self-help bullshit. Any business or investment requires attention. Once you secure "normal" income, save up in Bitcoin. This will at the very least protect your purchasing

This one is honest attempt in decentralization of IM: https://cwtch.im/ - worth supporting with donations because there is no token/ICO, no blockchain, and no bullshit from the author Sarah Jamie Lewis.

"Technologist perspective" - BS, you can only afford to entertain your philosophical takes because of strong reliability of the services around you, from your grocery store being full of goods to electricity at your place, to HN b

I love this website and the experiment. But you implying that more service downtimes is somehow progress of civilization is ridiculous. Civilization progress needs more reliability, not less.

One should use DNS servers offered by one's VPN provider. Otherwise, it leaks to both VPN provider and DNS provider.

Fortunately, in Bitcoin whale ownership does not imply control over the network. Fortunately, Bitcoin is PoW and not PoS.

Yes, there should be options. Not your keys, not your Bitcoin though! You can outsource to an exchange/bank but that gives you an IOU only, and not Bitcoin. The IOU is permissioned, censored, and prone to seizure.

The single biometric identity per person is a terrible idea because it cannot be discarded once compromised.

Correct.

by New_California 5y ago
Correct but efficacy of this process is pretty much irrelevant for the founders because the whole "fair distribution" is just a marketing gimmick to promote yet another shitcoin. Only losers will provide their real retinas. Smart

Why the article claims the change originated at Facebook? Updates to BGP routing are not authenticated. BGP hijacking is a real thing. To the best of my understanding, other well-positioned AS could publish this evil update to BGP routing t

Is there any possibility user is unaware she is "abusive"? For example, I quickly searched the ToS for port scanning and didn't find it banned, yet you admit to intentionally frustrate such users. I am not Fly.io customer a

How do you know the payment was fraudulent? Is there any possibility it can affect honest users?

Exactly.

I love mailbox but they do not offer Monero payments (not even Bitcoin) and so are not suitable as a privacy email. Sending cash via snail mail is really too much of a hassle, especially if you own multiple nyms.
