I wonder who is keeping their secret keys in Bitcoin Core? Are people doing this? I know, I am not. I am just running it as a full node. What other attacks would be possible if nobody stored their secret keys in Bitcoin Core? Probably onl

Just kill everybody who tries to enter or let even more of them die trying? We are rich. And we are partly responsible for the situation. Not helping refugees is just inhumane and wrong. Fixing this problem at the source would be better.

Mag stripe should be the inconvenient (two tries) exception. Not the default.

ATMs in Europe probably should not be able to read the mag stripe except when the chip does not work. Why do I have to insert the card fully, so that a skimmer can read the mag stripe? Why not have a way to only insert the chip and only if

There is not enough paid work for everyone. Automation will kill more and more jobs. I see BI as the only humane solution to keep automating stuff.

Regarding the BTX-Hack I have to mention this panel 30 years after: https://media.ccc.de/v/30JahreBTXHack#video&t=2322 Unfortunately in german. After seeing this it is quite clear to me, that this was not so much a

Are they available anywhere else but Germany? I do not use it as my regular bank account. I only use it as a cheap (fee free) way to get cash from ATMs.

I think anonymous payment via cash money should be a human right. In Germany, AFAIK every merchant has to accept cash. And I prefer it that way. Sure, it is fine if every merchant also accepts any cards, or BItcoin, or whatever. But cash is

You could accept Bitcoin via Bitpay (or any other payment processor supporting immediate conversion to fiat) and receive fiat currency. The good thing is: No chargeback possible.

Is 3% really wiping out the margin? Square and SumUp charge less than 3% for credit card payments. At least in Germany that led to smaller minimum amounts. They are now at about 1€.

No drug should be illegal. People should be educated about drug effects. Addicts should get help, not be thrown in jail. Those of us who can handle drugs should be left alone. Is that so hard to understand? Regarding addictive games: Is it

Wrong questions. You need to ask: What is the benefit of being able to use Tor? What is the benefit of communicating privately with the help of encryption?

Pretty much the only way to be kicked out in Berlin is if the owner needs the apartment for themselves (or a close relative) to live in. It is called Eigenbedarf.

No. The article was definitely about condemning Telegram. Otherwise it would have mentioned that other people producing stuff (for example: Cars, Open Source Software etc.) used by terrorists also sleep fine.

Do those calculations (108$/TWh) include the cost of safely getting rid of the waste and the insurance costs to cover the damage done by an accident? Let alone the costs of accidents.
