Are you familiar with Tor and .onion links? A decade or so ago, someone set up onion.ws so you could add .ws to any onion link and visit onion sites without running Tor. Eth.link is the same concept, but for .eth domains. Web3 capable brows

Um, use Brave, or any other decent web3 browswer. Put in any .eth URL, and it works fine. Eth.link was a crutch. A silly hack that makes it so you can take a .eth URL, add ".link" to it, and get onto .eth sites without having to u

> Wasn't SS7 notoriously insecure for decades? Are you implying that someone has recently fixed SS7? Last I checked it was as vulnerable as ever, and is still basically at the core of all global telecom.

This is a collaboration between Matt and the EFF to make a point to Microsoft. The goal here isn't to ensure a safe place for Tornado development. There are plenty of options there. The hope is that Microsoft will maybe learn their les

No, not all nodes are miners. Nodes are peers. Even SPV nodes, which is what is used in mobile wallets etc. Money transmitters are also required to have custody of funds, which is never the case for nodes or miners. You know nothing about t

For sure, going all in on anything when the price is within 5-10% of the all time high is just crazy. Maybe doing regular small buys to Dollar-Cost-Average your way in isn't so bad. Better than not holding anything of something you lik

I love how that video is from 2015 when the price was $200. Two major bubble expansions later, and literally 100x higher BTC price, and people are still saying the same dumb thing. I would never suggest that anyone gamble on cryptocurrency

WTF are you talking about? I know them personally and have made my own various contributions to Tornado over the years. They're a group of people who think public blockchains put people at risk of privacy violations, so they built tool

None of the Tornado developers are anonymous. They are all well known and respected members of the security/privacy community, and I have personally hung out with them multiple times in the US at public events, where they often speak e

What if we said "Anyone contributing to *HTTPS* after it became public knowledge that it was used to launder money put themselves at risk." ? Tornado is a super basic privacy layer that has been used as such for many years for cou

All telecom equipment has "legal intercept" hooks to allow full monitoring by law enforcement in whatever jurisdiction the devices are sold in. You don't need special backdoor chips, the backdoors in telecom equipment are a f

Lots of PoCs have been built over the years, but so far they've almost all been fun academic stunts, and not actually useful for real world scenarios. We live in an unprecedented era of understanding when it comes to technologies used

You should be setting a two-week auto-delete for all your messages anyway. Archive and backup features in other apps are a massive privacy hole. These chats are supposed to be ephemeral, if you want long lasting comms that you can search th

Don't iPhone and Android make it super trivial to get a live location link from the maps app that you can drop in the chat? I know Android does. Seems weird to put it directly into an encrypted messaging app when it's native to t

Litecoin was the third cryptocurrency to be added, and it was the most obvious choice to be next, seeing as how it had the next highest market cap after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Before Ethereum was a thing, Litecoin spent a lot of time as the

Have you tried using anything non-Google recently? Everything else is much, much worse IMO. Remember we all mostly moved to Google because they were the only ones who could actually deal with spam, gaming, and the more sophisticated attacks

Maybe, but from stories I've heard from some locals, Vegas is pretty close. It's very much a mob run city, and I've heard stories (completely unsubstantiated) of assassinations related to taxi turf battles etc, and the touris

This is true in lots of cities in the US too. In Portland, our police were working with the taxi union, and kept creating phony Uber accounts, requesting rides, and then fining the drivers. Obviously those riders were getting horrendously n

IMO Bunnie has the technical skills and the reputation to pull it off though. I think it has about zero chance of withstanding physical attacks, which is important to me in a phone, but it's a nice effort.

It would probably be more stupid if they tried to build their own.

Eh, 60k is just a bit more expensive than your average car, and lots of people have cars, and that's just how things are today. I imagine capabilities will be skyrocketing and prices will fall drastically at the same time.
