77TB (or 104 TB) sounds expensive, but many people reading this could buy that kind of storage with just one month's salary. (SeaGate IronWolf Pro 16 TB, currently $521 on Amazon)

Easy in the case of ransomware or any other cases where a victim has to pay Bitcoins. The entity who pays the ransom/whatever sends the money to a Bitcoin address. This money is immediately marked as "confiscated" in cooperat

That is true. On the other hand, while I'm (unfortunately for this discussion) not an expert in money laundering laws, the police tend to confiscate money that is known to have been laundered (or even before they know for sure apparent

Other random bitcoin concerns (apart from the environmental ones): - How about people stop accepting laundered bitcoins first and foremost? - Any bitcoins that have provably been involved in illegal stuff - Any monero/whathaveyo

IRC is inherently non-private because anybody can join and then do whatever with what they saw. IRC isn't really unencrypted in transit though, you can connect via SSL (most people do so, probably) and there are channel modes on some n

TBH it's silly that IRC clients and servers still respect the 512-byte limit for messages. Clients should send a command (e.g. something like PROTOCTL NOMSGLMT) to let the server know it supports messages of arbitrary length. And the s
